Gaza parents not allowed to accompany ill children into Israel
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: Gaza, Haaretz.com TV 
Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for January 12, 2008.

The parents of two young Gazans in need of urgent medical care to escort their children into Israel last week for treatment.

Despite many efforts to obtain a permit for own of Sausan al-Jaafri's parents or even a distant relative, the young girl had to travel to Wolfson Medical Center in Holon on her own.

ospital staff and officials from the Save a Child's Heart project tried in vain to convince the authorities to grant the al-Jaafris permits, but since Israel labeled the Gaza Strip a hostile territory in September, Sausan's parents no longer meet the criteria for entry permits.

The two-year-old Mohammed also left for Israel without his parents, and only his elderly uncle was granted a permit to escort him. Mohammed needed emergency heart surgery, but his parents could not be there for him.
