Injured by Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip, ten-year-old Mira can no longer speak or walk, a condition her sister hopes will improve with advanced treatment in a UAE hospital.
Suffering from a brain hemorrhage and a fractured skull after a shell landed near her Gaza home last month, Mira on Sunday was stretchered aboard an Emirati evacuation plane.
She is one of 80 patients and their relatives who were airlifted to the United Arab Emirates from Egypt’s El-Arish airport, near the Rafah border crossing from Gaza.
