Israeli doctors perform life-saving op on Iraqi baby
Bayan Jassem was born just over a week ago near Kirkuk in northern Iraq with the arteries to her heart reversed. An American military doctor with the occupation forces discovered the infant’s problem and matched her parents up with the Israeli organisation Save a Child’s Heart.
Last Friday, Jassem and her parents began the trek from Baghdad by airplane to Amman and then by car to the border with Israel, which they crossed Tuesday.
