Palestinian Amputee Teen Continues Skating In Gaza

Akram Sharif Al-Fayoumi, a 13-year-old Palestinian amputee and skating enthusiast, rests outside his family's tent in the west of Gaza City on May 13, 2026. Originally from the Shuja'iyya neighborhood, he was injured on August 8, 2024, during an Israeli airstrike on eastern Gaza City, resulting in the loss of his left arm and right leg. Akram and his family remain displaced in western Gaza City. Despite his injuries and displacement, he continues to practice inline skating with the help of a prosthesis.
