A Palestinian child who had to wait for weeks for permission to leave the Gaza range to perform critical medical treatment arrived in Jordan. The girl is now in the hospital receiving the necessary treatment.
Habiba al-Askari, two years old, left Palestinian territory after effort at the “highest level” in Jordan, he reported to CNN a Jordanian authority familiar with the negotiations.
Jordan decided to take her home after a report from CNN about your story.
Israel initially approved Habiba’s treatment abroad last month, before denying authorization to medical exits from the country for more than two weeks, according to international aid groups.
Doctors believe that Gaza’s child has a protein C deficiency – a rare but highly treatable genetic condition that causes excessive blood coagulation – and warned that the child will probably lose his right leg and possibly his arms.
But thousands of children like Habiba do not have access to vital care in Gaza, where the medical system has been heavily degraded for over 15 months due to the siege and bombing of Israel.
After a report from CNN About Habiba last month, Jordan decided to take her to Amman to perform urgent medical treatment. However, Israel postponed the mission, commented Jordanian authorities to the CNN last week.
Israeli authorities did not respond to repeated requests for comments from CNN at the time.
Last Thursday (30), Habiba was admitted to intensive treatment at the Nasser de Gaza Hospital with a pulmonary infection.
Her heart stopped twice, according to her mother and health professionals who resurrected her.
On Sunday, Israel delayed the release of the exit – postponing the mission and refusing to allow his mother Rana to accompany her daughter.
Jordanian authorities worked behind the scenes to get Israeli approval to Rana escort Habiba and the girl’s brother, Soheib.
To save the child from a long and dangerous journey, Jordan requested a air transport for its Israel-Gaza border military, but Israel denied the request, according to a senior Jordanian authority, which reported to CNN that the Israeli authorities would only approve of an earthly movement.
On Sunday (2), Israel authorized Soheib’s trip – before revoking his permission at the last minute, according to Jordanian authorities. Reported to CNN that they finally obtained approval for the whole family to leave Gaza on Monday morning (3).
The senior authority described the mission of moving Habiba as unnecessarily difficult.
“We work tirelessly, daily, to take habub. This was followed at the highest levels of Jordan, ”said the authority.
COGAT, Israeli aid agency, told the CNN On Monday (3): “Israel approved the match of Habiba Mahmoud Abd Al-Rasser Askari to Jordan for medical treatment, accompanied by his mother and 10-year-old brother.”
Approval for the departure of children and their families for medical treatment were “subject to a security review by the relevant authorities before their entry into the sovereign territory of Israel,” according to Cogat on January 14.
“What is at stake is the life of a child”
On Monday (3), her child and her family were transferred in an ambulance by the Gaza Ministry of Health for Kem Shalom’s border passage with Israel and soon delivered to a Jordanian medical team.
Habiba was then taken by Israel to Jordan by the King Hussein bridge, also known as the passage of the Allenby Bridge.
A medical team sent by order of King Abdullah II was waiting in a helicopter to take her to a hospital in Amman.
A team from CNN On the ground of the Jordanian side of the border he heard sirens and saw blue and red lights of the ambulance illuminating a path that led to the helicopter.
Three military doctors found Rana and her two children inside the emergency vehicle on Monday night before the family was transferred to the helicopter.
The child was wrapped in a blanket with a red toy while Rana looked out the window, her eyes tired of exhaustion after Gaza’s first exit.
Military doctors monitored Habiba oxygen levels during the ten -minute flight to Amman before they arrived at Queen Rania Al Abdullah’s Children’s Hospital.
Habiba was then attended by medical professionals at the unit.
Population needs urgent medical care
Cogat spoke before CNN which allowed 24 gaza medical exits through Israel to other countries “in recent months”, containing 1,075 residents of Gaza seeking medical attention.
Between 12,000 and 14,000 people still need medical exit from Gaza, according to the World Health Organization.
At least 37 patients and 39 companions left Gaza de Rafah, said the WHO on Saturday (1st), after the crossing of the crossing.
Like Habiba, 2,500 other children in Gaza need an urgent medical output, according to the UN. But for those who wait for salvation, there is no such promise, according to a humanitarian worker in the region.
Arwa Damon, founder of the inara aid organization, spoke to CNN that Israel’s process to facilitate the medical outputs of Gaza children “never clear.”
Inara was not involved in the departure mission for habub rescue.
“It’s like trying to navigate a distorted reality show … where survival rules are … Changing constantly and what is at stake is a child’s life,” Damon said on Monday (3). “What we face trying to take into the habit is not unique to her, it’s the status quo.”
