He cries out for drugs that will numb the pain, but there are none here. After this story aired a year ago, we lost track of Nimr. We didn't know if he was alive or dead. But this past week, Anas Baba found Nimr, who is now 12, thankfully alive, but still suffering from his wounds and the toll of the war in Gaza. Anas joins me now from Gaza. Hello, Anas. How are you? Hello, Rob.

Anas, I want you to tell me about Nimr. Where is he now and how is he doing?

Anas, I want you to tell me about Nimr. Where is he now and how is he doing?

Yeah, that is a miracle, given what Gaza has gone through in this past year. Here's a portion of your interview with Nimer about the lasting impact of his gunshot wounds a year ago. And Nimr is telling you here that after he had a surgical procedure to deaden his nerve endings, he still cannot run, he cannot play soccer or even walk very far.

He says he still has an electric shock feeling when he accidentally bumps his leg and that it often makes him cry. He's saying here that he mostly stays inside. When he does go outside, he says he sees his friends playing and running, and he feels jealous. He says, I'm afraid they'll make fun of me for not being able to run. Anas, that is really sad to hear that.

I remember Nimr's favorite sport is soccer. I remember Lionel Messi is his hero. So this must be particularly tough on him. It's been a year since you last saw Nimr. And I understand that he's been in and out of makeshift field hospitals there in Gaza, constantly on the move, trying to evade Israeli missile attacks. How did he manage to survive the past year? Yeah.

Honest, did you just say that he was at a house where a hostage extraction took place by the Israeli military?

My gosh. And Anas, we should mention here the Israeli Defense Forces maintained at the time that less than 100 Gazans were killed in its hostage extraction operation. And he saw that and he managed to survive that.

I'm reminded here that when you found Nimer last year in that refugee tent in Rafah, he hadn't seen his parents since he was shot and nearly killed. Tell me about how he was able to be reunited with them.
