WorldGuardian readers fund life-changing surgery for Somali boy injured in US airstrike

A Guardian investigation found that a US drone strike on Jamaame, Somalia, killed at least 12 civilians, including eight children, and injured seven-year-old Abdiqadir Salah and his siblings. Guardian readers funded his surgery and rehabilitation in Mogadishu. Doctors removed two shrapnel fragments but left a third because removing it could cause paralysis.
