Such a young girl, aged seven, who battled a rare cancer, has died miserably after a missile hit a building in which she was getting treatment in Israel.
The girl whose name has not been made public was being treated for a medical condition when the incident happened. Her parents had taken the girl to Israel in search of a doctor who could give her a treatment that was not available in their country.
The missile attack was one of the issues of the ongoing conflict in the region, which has been at an increased violence level in the last few days.
The death of the little girl has led to such grief and anger that then, the protection of the innocents, especially the children, is demanded by those who have seen the terrible situation.
One of the members of the family told how deeply the tragedy has affected them: “She was mere moments away from winning the battle against cancer. This way of losing her is just inconceivable to us.”
The medical team at the hospital facilities where the girl was undergoing treatment shared their deep sympathy and stressed the fact that these places should be protected and not targeted.
The incident is a terrible example of the effects that war has on the lives of those who are already in a difficult situation, especially those who are seriously ill.
Those responsible for the missile attack have not been identified by the police, while organizations at the global level are still calling for a rapid truce to avoid more tragic deaths of non-combatants.
The story of the little girl has made a wide public worldwide who are still grieving over the death of a pure life that was given in the war.
