His injuries are reportedly more severe than initially believed, with concerns about nerve damage and an unexplained bullet lodged in his shoulder. Al-Ahmed's bravery has inspired widespread praise and a fundraising campaign that has garnered significant support, including a major donation from a United States philanthropist. As the community mourns the tragic loss of life, many have found hope in Al-Ahmed's courageous actions, which leaders say saved many lives during one of the darkest days in recent memory.
