Severed: Israel's Policy of Inflicting Disabilities in Gaza

Severed: Israel's Policy of Inflicting Disabilities in Gaza

When Mohammad was 12 years old, he saw an Israeli soldier aiming at him. Seconds later, he shot Mohammad in the leg during the Great March of Return. The bullet severed the main nerve in Mohammad’s leg. For months, Israel denied Mohammad his right to leave Gaza for urgent medical treatment. By the time he finally received care, it was too late. At 18, Mohammad was forced to make the brutal decision to amputate his own leg. In this episode of This is Palestine, we shed light on the documentary Severed, which follows Mohammad and his mother’s life in Egypt after evacuating to continue his medical treatment during Israel’s genocide in Gaza. We speak with Mohammad, the protagonist and co-producer of Severed, and with filmmaker and producer Jen Marlowe. Together, they explore what it means to survive injury, to be cut off from home, to carry the responsibility of telling the story of those still trapped in Gaza, and why Palestine must also be understood as a disability justice issue.
