Palestinian Mother Thanks Ireland for Son's Treatment
Ireland has evacuated 19 children from Gaza since December 2024 to provide specialized medical care unavailable in Egypt, responding to a WHO request for urgent support.
- Mohammed, aged six, is one of 19 children evacuated from Gaza for treatment after four months in Egypt, with his mother calling it `the golden opportunity`.
- With no local beds or nerve medication available, hospitals in Khan Yunis, Gaza, struggled amid the Israeli military offensive, forcing Buchra Abdul-Bari to seek treatment abroad.
- A neighbour transported Mohammed to hospital in a wooden box on a bike for a two-hour trip, and the family survived days on only dirty water after displacement in Gaza.
- When the family reunited in October, Mohammed was `over the moon` and staff at Children's Health Ireland marked the programme's progress, while Dr Turlough Bolger said teams reviewed hundreds of WHO files to identify patients without displacing Irish patients.
- Three waves of evacuations have brought patients to Ireland since December 2024, as Ireland pledged to evacuate 30 paediatric patients after a WHO request amid dire Gaza conditions.
