Abstract:
--
Excerpt:
Aisha underwent urgent surgery in al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City but she needed a medical transfer to go to the Augusta Victoria Hospital in occupied East Jerusalem for further treatment.
But when it came time to decide which of her parents would go with her, the family found the decision was out of their hands.
"Her mother and I applied and we both were rejected," Aisha's father Wesam said....
An elderly friend of Aisha's aunt volunteered to accompany Aisha. Her application was approved by the Israeli authorities.
