Four-year-old loses sight in one eye after sharpnel hits her
Four-year-old Fatima al-Zahra has marked her birthday – the first she has spent blind in one eye after being wounded in the crossfire between SDF fighters and the Syrian army.
Shrapnel from the fighting tore through Fatima’s face as she returned home from kindergarten.
Fatima was leaving kindergarten when a shell landed at the spot where the bus had stopped. Two others who were there with her were killed.
