ATLANTA - An 11-year-old boy from Gaza is beginning medical treatment in Atlanta after losing his legs in an airstrike last year.

Yassin Alghalban and his family landed at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport a little more than a week ago. With the help of a translator, FOX 5's Rob DiRienzo sat down with Yassin Alghalban and his family.

But it was what the little boy didn't say that spoke volumes.
