Summary
A Somali asylum seeker named Hussein was brutally attacked in Dublin while playing basketball, beaten with a hammer-like object, leaving him with shattered jaw and nose, unable to speak, and now reliant on a syringe for feeding. He believes his Irish attackers had no motive — he didn’t steal anything, had no prior contact with them, and had just become homeless after fleeing civil war. Despite the horror, strangers are rallying — a local man, Liam Hourican, launched a fundraiser that’s already raised over €6,000 to help him heal.
