19-Month-Old Gazan Baby Dies After Israel Refused to Allow Her to Leave for Treatment

HeadlineApr 06, 2022

Fatima was diagnosed last year with a hole in her heart. Her family had booked medical appointments for her in Jerusalem in December and February, but she was forced to miss both because her family’s request to leave Gaza was “under review.”
