Young fire victim's eyes may save Palestinian baby's sight
By Yuval Azoulay, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Eliya Ruyami, Golan Heights 

The cornea of a Golan Heights girl who died in a fire last week may save the eyesight of a month-old Palestinian baby.

The cornea was donated by the family of Eliya Ruyami, 11, who died following a late-night electrical fire in their Moshav Keshet home. Her 7-year-old brother was killed as well.

Doctors at Schneider Children's Medical Center in Petah Tikva will plant the cornea in the left eye of Nidal Salah, from the Israeli town of Jaljulya.
