Muhammad Junaid, the father of the Palestinian child Ayoub, said that his son has suffered from severe visual impairment since his childhood after contracting meningitis fever that left effects on his vision. He explained that the family was monitoring his condition using medical glasses until his glasses size reached 29 degrees, while this size was not available, which forced him to use glasses of size 26 for about 3 years without change.

He added in a telephone conversation with the journalist Shorouk Emad El-Din, presenter of the “Extra Today” program, on the “Extra News” channel, that Ayoub was feeling great suffering because of his weak eyesight, and he was trying to go out to get food despite his health conditions, before he stumbled and fell on his face while returning from one of the food distribution points, which led to the lens of his glasses being broken and then completely shattered the next day, in the absence of a suitable replacement for it.
