RIYADH – Amir Alam, whose left hand was amputated following an industrial accident a few weeks ago, has been deserted by his employer. Alam, who is now seeking help from his community, was working on a machine when his left hand was suddenly caught in a pulley belt and badly crushed, leading to amputation at the Kharj-based King Khaled Hospital, some 60 kilometers from Riyadh.
