Adam is an amputee, losing his leg after an Israeli bomb demolished his home, said Afif Asmar, spokesperson for HEAL Palestine.

Twelve-year-old Adam and his mother arrived at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport on Friday to cheers, applause, and chants from dozens of people.

"We're a charity that takes care of children who have injuries because of conflicts or wars, and now there's plenty of children that... need medical treatment and medical care," Asmar said."As you know... all the hospitals in Gaza are decimated by the war. There's only three hospitals left out of 36 hospitals."

"One of the most painful things for parents is to see children being hurt. It doesn't matter where, it doesn't matter what country, it doesn't matter what the reason is. There's no reason for a child to be hurt," said Sam Mohamad, one of the community members who showed up at DFW International to give Adam a warm welcome.Mohamad, who is Palestinian himself and lived there as a child, said he's grateful to HEAL for bringing Adam here.
