A Palestinian family from Khan Yunis is staying at Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, following a successful operation to save their son who was suffering from leukemia.
According to a report on the Ynet website, after no donor was found for the child, the hospital doctors suggested that the mother give birth to another child and take the bone marrow donation from the baby brother so that they could transplant it into the sick child.
And so it was. The Palestinian mother became pregnant and arrived at the hospital for the birth, before October 7. She gave birth after October 7.

The bone marrow was taken from the baby born in Sheba and transplanted into the child with leukemia. The sick child recovered, but the mother and her two children have been in the hospital since then - because they cannot return home.
According to Ynet, several dozen patients from the Gaza Strip are still hospitalized or staying in hospitals in Israel.
The security establishment wanted to remove about 20 patients and their families from the Safra Children's Hospital in Tel Hashomer and three hospitals in East Jerusalem back to the Gaza Strip. However, the organization Physicians for Human Rights petitioned the High Court of Justice, and following the move, the state relented and announced that it would allow the patients and their relatives to continue to stay in Israel for at least another month.
