Mustafa, the six-year-old limbless
Syrian boy who has been given refuge in Italy along with the
rest of his family, on Wednesday visited Budrio, in the province
of Bologna, ahead of a move to the town later in the year for
treatment at a specialist centre.
Mustafa was born without arms and legs due to a malformation
caused by the medicines his mother took after she was the victim
of a nerve-gas attack during the civil war in Syria.
He was accompanied by his father Munzir, who lost a leg in bomb
attack.
The family, which also includes Mustafa's two sisters, have been
staying at a centre run by Catholic charity Caritas since
January.
In September they will move to Budrio for treatment at a special
prothesis centre.
