Fashion model and lifestyle blogger Sara Mohamed Mahmoud, 21, and her husband-to-be were driving to Sara’s home in Alexandria Governorate on 9th February.

But on the way, they were impeded by armed carjackers, who opened fire at the vehicle’s windows, sending shrapnel and shards of glass flying into Sara’s face.

Both she and fiance Mustafa Khotb were taken to El Miri Hospital in Alexandria.

Medics listed Sara’s injuries as blood clots, a brain bleed, and the destruction of her eye tissues, leaving her blind.

She also sustained some injuries to her brain and is struggling with PTSD, Arab media reported.

She has already undergone several operations and has more to come.

Sara, who needed 70 stitches to her head, told local media: “They removed the glass from my eye and the things they could fix, but they couldn’t make me see.”

Surgeons say there is a small chance of regaining some vision in her right eye, but she will need to have the operation abroad.

And now Mustafa, who survived the shooting with minor cuts and bruises, has been accused of abandoning his injured fiancee.

According to Sara, he has only paid her a single visit since the ordeal, despite living on the same street as her.

However, Mustafa is reportedly claiming that he still loves his fiancee and is trying to communicate with her, but her family is knocking him back.

He told local media: “Every day I try, but her family refuses, even her friends who used to deliver her messages, her family refused to let them into the house again.”

He claims he still wants to marry Sara in six months’ time.

Well-wishers have been leaving their messages of support for Sara, who had 277,000 Instagram followers at the time of writing, online.
