He was left for dead, and the hospital that treated him discharged him fearing his attackers would follow him there. Left: Mr. Adda and his family then left Iraq for Cairo while pursuing refugee status in America. Below: Daughter Heba, her parents and seven siblings now live in a two-bedroom apartment, unsure of the next step after the State Department rejected Mr. Adda's application.
