We are all with you Yasser


While some refuse to be operated, some do not even have the right to be hospotalized

It is curious to understand the reality of the unjust world in which we live, while some refuse to be operated, some do not even have the right to be hospitalized. We all remember the case of Hannah Jones, who became famous and her photos came out all over the media for refusing to perform a heart transplant claiming her right to "die with dignity". This led the hospital to undertake a trial with the intention of robbing the custody of her parents and to do the transplant, but in the end the High Court in London acknowledged that the girl is mature enough to reject the transplant.

If Hannah had the chance to choose and to make that decision, Yasser Ahmed Swisi, 12 years old Palestinian boy from Gaza, has had no such luck. His family has to do manual breathing "CPR" all day and night 24/7 - for the fact that any stop will be inevitable danger on his life - everytime that they don't have electricity that impedes the functioning of the machine from which his life depends on.

It is shameful to see how this child is doomed to die slowly, like other 750,000 children, only because they are Palestinians from Gaza. It is obvious that Yasir has the same rights as Hannah to be heard, and to choose his destiny. Hospitals in the world should take a lawsuit against those responsible for his suffering and to give him the chance to get treatment for his case. Therefore, I ask all of you to try to do something for Yasir, talk about his case in all possible ways, to give him the opportunity to enjoy, like other children of the world, the right to life.

Yasser Al Swasi, a 12 year old child, living in the Gaza, he hasn’t left his own bed as he suffers a harsh critical health condition. He keeps his life on through a respiratory system device.

Diagnosis: Quadriplegia, punctured larynx and the patient required an artificial respiratory system and X-rays were taken, medical examination, radiology on neck vertebrae and general X-rays. The second vertebra was broken due to abullet lodged in the patient’s neck.Few weeks ago my friend Ayman T. Quader from Gaza visited him and wrote one article that you can find in the link bellow and if someone wants to know more details he can talk with his father Ahmed 00972599953888.
