Israeli Doctors Save Palestinian Girl


(Ha'aretz) Itay Stern - Nili Tal's film "Saving Nur" follows a Gazan girl in need of a liver and kidney transplant. In it, Tal describes the tremendous medical treatment Nur received. "Dr. Elhanan Nahum, director of the pediatric ICU at Schneider [Children's Medical Center], didn't go to sleep at home with his wife and children when Nur's life was in danger. The surgeon, Dr. Michael Gurevich, rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night to operate on her for the sixth time." Jewish volunteers from Israel drive children from Gaza to hospitals in Israel. In one of the film's peak moments, Nur's mother Maha Hajj says that if her daughter should die following the liver transplant surgery, she would want her organs to be donated to Israelis first.
