Sadeel Hamdan is nine months old and her doctors say she could die without a medical evacuation to receive urgent treatment, which she cannot get in the enclave.Sadeel has liver cirrhosis which has led to her severe ascites where fluid accumulates in the belly.
Sadeel and other critically ill patients have been trapped inside Gaza since and health officials say their conditions are deteriorating.Those trying to evacuate them describe the closing as "a death sentence". "We had a golden window of opportunity several weeks ago to evacuate her when she was stable and responding well to medications whilst she awaited an urgent liver transplant.They added that Sadeel’s case is not the only. Ms Ouazzani said: “Even if there is a ceasefire, which is desperately needed and long overdue, it doesn’t solve the problem we have with the catastrophic number of children awaiting medical evacuation.
The United Nations, World Health Organisation and several global NGOs have appealed throughout the conflict for hospitals to be protected.
