Yusef's miraculous journey to rehabilitation

He fell into a five-story lift shaft and had a big fracture in his skull. Last week, after a complicated operation and a long rehabilitation, Yusef Jardat was released from the hospital and spoke for the first time to the press: "They saved me and now things are much better." And also: his father talks about the fears, his son's fear of entering a lift alone, and the difficult months the family went through: "Four months that looked like ten years."
