AMMAN - Iraqi soldier Abdullah lost his left hand fighting the Islamic State group but now he has a prosthetic one - thanks to a 3-D printing lab in Jordan.

Abdullah was wounded in a mine blast as Iraqi forces battled to oust the extremists from Iraq's second city Mosul last year. His right hand was also seriously wounded.

The 22-year-old, who asked not to use his real name, is one of a group of Iraqi, Syrian and Yemeni amputees to benefit from a 3-D-printing clinic at a hospital run by the medical charity Doctors Without Borders, or MSF.
