Note: This item is not introduced in order to stir up a Palestinian vs. Israel debate. It is to show another instance of children being victims.
FOR five-year-old Marya Aman and her father Hamdi, the respiratory ward of Alyn hospital in Jerusalem has become a prison and her terrible injuries a life sentence.
Paralysed from the neck down when an Israeli missile destroyed her family’s car in Gaza last May, the Palestinian girl is caught in a dilemma that only the tortured politics of the Middle East could have contrived.
She cannot leave the Israeli hospital where her father tends her round the clock — feeding her, bathing her and changing her catheters — because she has nowhere to go within reach of the medical care she needs.
Her 29-year-old father cannot leave without risking automatic deportation to Gaza and separation from his child.....
