“At night, I feel very cold and sometimes I have coughing fits. My chest also hurts sometimes. ” I feel cold every night. “I want blankets and clothes,” said Zakaria Shada, who is 13 years old and has fragile bones. He uses a wheelchair.
He had to run away from the southern city of Khan Younis with his dad to Rafah, near the border with Egypt, and now he lives in a tent.
“We want to go home instead of living on the streets,” Zakaria said according to the news agency. “We hope this war ends soon, if it’s what God wants. ”
Zaher Shada, Zakaria’s dad, thinks it’s better for Zakaria to live in a tent instead of a crowded shelter. Zakaria could easily get sick or hurt in a shelter because it’s too small.
Zaher is afraid that if he lives with a lot of people, he could get sicker because his immune system is weak. He’s also worried that if someone touches him, they could hurt him.
