This boy was playing with a friend near Jihad Museum. They found what they thought was a ball. It was a landmine. The boy lost an arm and an eye -his friend lost his life. Now this landmine survivor tries to make a living by selling socks on the roadside. He comes from a poor family and doesn't have other options. He cannot attend school as he needs to make a living.
