Seven-year-old Halima Abou Yassine was brought to Lebanon from Gaza for treatment after an Israeli strike left her near death with a gaping wound in her skull. She's one of a dozen Palestinian children from Gaza being treated in Lebanon under a program set up by a British-Palestinian surgeon, Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta.
Palestinian children who were brought from Gaza to get medical treatments, fear of facing further uncertainty in Lebanon . Palestinian girl Halima Abou Yassine, 7, who was brought to Lebanon from Gaza Strip for treatment after an Israeli strike left her near death with a gaping wound in her skull, plays with a toy car at a summer camp in Beirut, Lebanon , Friday, Aug. 30, 2024.
Halima’s brother was unconscious next to her. He was quickly revived at the hospital. But staff at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital confirmed Nawfal’s fears, she said: Halima was dead. Her small body was placed in the morgue. “Because of the sheer number of cases that would come in with each air raid ... the ambulance staff would take to the morgue immediately those who they thought were dead,” he said.
Lebanon has been through its share of conflicts, including a 15-year civil war that ended in 1990 and a brutal monthlong war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006, as well as spillover effects from other regional conflicts. Nawfal said some organizations offered to evacuate the family from Lebanon to continue treatment elsewhere, but she “completely refused.”
Since arriving in Beirut, Adam has undergone a procedure to clear infection from his bones, a neurosurgery and regular physiotherapy sessions. With effort, he can now slightly clench his hand.
