Israeli Doctors Treat Palestinian Children
(Jerusalem Post) Brenda Katten - Dr. Yoram Neumann, a consultant to the outpatient clinic of the pediatric oncology department at Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, says that, currently, 40% of his patients come from Gaza and the West Bank. He noted that "we are portrayed as 'child killers,' while here and in hospitals all over the country we are saving Palestinian lives." I spoke with a Palestinian woman from Hebron whose child is currently hospitalized. I asked how it was for her being in an Israeli hospital. She said she had expected to confront the enemy, but meeting personally with Israelis has given her a totally different perspective. She spoke warmly of the care given to her child and the support she personally receives.
