Twelve civilians died, including eight children. One woman's three young children were wounded; she fled with them into the bushes because US drones were still circling overhead. She eventually made it to Mogadishu seeking help for her son, who needs a $1,000 surgery to have shrapnel removed — shrapnel that threatens his ability to walk. She cannot afford it.
