TL;DR Summary

Despite the ongoing civil war in Yemen, a prosthetics clinic in the frontline city of Taiz continues to see a steady stream of patients, including children and soldiers, who have lost limbs due to land mines and unexploded ordnance. The clinic faces challenges in providing appropriate prosthetics, such as the lack of limbs with knee joints. As the conflict appears to be slowing down, the clinic serves as a reminder of the long-lasting impact of the war on civilians. One young patient, Shaimaa Ali Ahmed, who lost her leg at the age of 6, remains determined to rebuild her life and hopes to become a women's rights lawyer.
