A Palestinian kid died at a hospital in Gaza waiting to see her parents who couldn’t get the permit to visit her.
According to a report by India Today, the girl named Aisha a-Lulu, came out of a brain surgery in a hospital in Jerusalem and expressed her wish to see her parents.
But Israeli authorities didn’t grant approval to her parents. They instead approved a stranger to escort Aisha from the blockaded Gaza Strip to the east Jerusalem hospital. After her condition deteriorated on the way, she was returned to Gaza in an unconscious state. A week later, she was dead.
Talking to media, Waseem a-Lulu, Aisha’s father said:
“The most difficult thing is to leave your child in the unknown. Jerusalem is just an hour away, but it feels as though it is another planet.”
