Lebanese children reunited with father in Ireland

WELCOME plans for a grandmother and two children plucked from the war zone in Lebanon and reunited with their estranged father in Ireland were scuppered yesterday afternoon after the 57-year-old woman was rushed to a doctor, suffering from a heart condition, exhaustion and dehydration.

There are fears she may have to be hospitalised today, if her condition does not improve.

Rosaline Zabed had been sleeping on the streets in Lebanon for a fortnight, along with her grandson, Ali, eight, and granddaughter, Gadier, five.
