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.
