Summary
- A one-year-old Palestinian girl returned to Gaza after treatment in Jordan is now hospitalized.
- The child suffers from severe nutritional problems and a gastro-intestinal infection.
- Doctors are providing necessary treatment but her condition remains critical.
A one-year-old Palestinian girl, Siwar Ashour, who had been receiving medical treatment in Jordan for severe nutritional issues, has been returned to a hospital in Gaza. She had spent six months in Amman under a medical evacuation program, but her health rapidly declined within days of her repatriation on December 3rd.
Now admitted to al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza, Siwar is being treated for a gastro-intestinal infection. Her weakened immune system and difficulty absorbing nutrients necessitate specialized care, including specific baby formula. Doctors indicate her situation is serious despite ongoing medical intervention.
