Palestinian Baby Gets Heart Transplant from Jewish Teen

(Jewish News-UK) Jenni Frazer - A six-month-old Palestinian baby is fighting for his life this week after receiving a heart transplant from a Jewish 17-year-old at Israel's Sheba Hospital in Ramat Gan. Dr. David Mishaly, chief surgeon at Sheba's pediatric and congenital heart surgery unit, said: "Musa was brought to Sheba in very critical condition. But by a miracle, Musa was able to receive a new heart from a Jewish child, whose parents had agreed a few hours earlier to the donation." Musa's grandmother said: "Our entire family is grateful for the heroic efforts by Dr. Mishaly and the staff at Sheba to save my grandson. We hope this will create a more positive atmosphere between our two nations. We would like to meet the family of the Jewish child and thank them for their generosity."
