Heavy one, CNFers, heavy one, this for the Atavist. Rhana Natour and Eman Mohammed profile Layan Albaz, a Palestinian teenager who lost her legs in an Israeli airstrike. This is the journey of a young girl who came to the U.S. to be fitted for prosthetics, but as Rhana writes, it’s like learning two musical instruments at the same time.
Not only that, Layan’s story is one of THOUSANDS of children who have lost limbs during these horrific bombings. Rhana and Eman speak about this far better than I can describe, so let’s give you some info on them.
Rhana (@rnatourious) is a journalist, producer, and an award-winning correspondent who specializes in documentary storytelling, digital explainers, and feature reporting. Her work has appeared on PBS News Hour, Al Jazeera English, More Pefect Union, and Scripps News.
