They were on a small boat that exploded on Saturday.

Maleka was killed in the explosion, her husband was hurt.

The doctor treating him says Tiran had several broken bones.

“Unfortunately, due to the injuries that he has sustained he had to undergo initial amputation, we call this guillotine amputation just to cut the bad tissue, the infected tissue, the bad tissue out.”
