He explained that he was in class when the teacher asked him to bring a broom to clean the classroom, so he entered the school kitchen, only to be surprised by two classmates who grabbed him without warning, poured kerosene on him and set him on fire.
He added, "I didn't do anything to them, why did they do this to me? I'm an orphan, and I didn't hurt anyone."

After the video of the child went viral, the media spokesman for the Jordan Public Security Directorate confirmed that the Family Protection Department was authorized to process the case after a child suffered burns all over his body, following an assault at his school.
