The moments after the attack were excruciating, He missed abc 7.
“Like my face was completely on fire, and then I couldn’t even breathe,” Ikram said. “It was worse than the experience of death. I was in that ambulance and I felt my chest coming out of my soul. How much i hurt “
He thought for weeks that he was blind, but then slowly began to improve.
“It’s still very cloudy and foggy,” he said. “I can’t read with my eye. I can’t do that, like if I close my eye, I can see the lights there, I can see what you’ve worn but I can’t see you. I can see my Can see the hand but I cannot tell how many numbers are there. “

The distraught father said, “They get so close to him and it was such an acid, almost like … you can say a pound.”
Nafia, who studied medicine at Hofstra University and plans to become a doctor, was taken to the hospital by her mother, who also works there.
