Maria Aman was seriously wounded in a targeted killing in Gaza some ten months ago. Since then she has been hospitalized in Israel, paralyzed from the neck down. Her father can't bear to tell her that her condition will never change. The Sunday Times says it has collected 10,000 pounds for Maria.
The Sunday Times reported that it had collected almost 10,000 pounds in readers' donations for Maria Aman, a six-year-old Palestinian girl who was seriously wounded in a targeted killing in Gaza some ten months ago. Aman's mother, grandmother, brother and uncle were all killed in the attack while she was left paralyzed from the neck down and will have to be ventilated for the rest of her life.
After her injury Maria was transferred to the Tel Hashomer hospital in central Israel and from there to the Alin children's rehabilitation facilty in Jerusalem. Initially her father, Hamdi, was barred from visiting her as he did not have an entrance visa from Gaza but due to public pressure he was granted entry and since then hasn't left his daughter's side. He sleeps on a mattress beside her bed, clothes her, feeds her, combs her hair and takes her for walks.
"I haven't told her that her condition will never change yet. I'd rather she think it's only temporary so that she'll be happy and won't get depressed. Her brain is the only thing that works and the situation is very difficult for her," Hamdi told Ynet.
"In the meantime she's learning with a computer, she goes swimming in a special pool in the hospital and she's taken good care of here." After ten months of rehabilitation Maria is being allowed to leave the hospital and move in with her father, though she will have to remain close to the medical facility in Jerusalem since it's the only one in the country which specializes in cases like hers.
In the meantime she remains in the hospital until the ministry of defense locates housing suitable for her needs and also purchases the expensive medical equipment she will need. The special wheelchair alone costs some $12,000 and her family continues to live off state stipends and donations. Maria and her father are not Israeli citizens and are in the country on visas.
For several long months Hamdi did not receive the compensation money from Israel and only media pressure eventually helped him. Hamdi was also given a room in the hospital motel.
Hamdi: We want an Arab environment
The ministry of defense has offered Hamdi a home in kibbutz Ramat Rachel near Jerusalem, close to the treatment center, but Hamdi says the offer is irrelevant.
"What will I do in a kibbutz," asks Hamdi, "from one prison they want to send us to another prison. Maria and I are Arabs, we need to live in an Arab environment. The best solution for us would be Beit Tzafafa, since it is both close to the hospital and the school I want to enroll Maria in. The problem is that the ministry of defense has yet to find us a home there."
Following the media exposure Hamdi and Maria garnered many citizens have come to the Alin hospital to offer aid. Some donate money, others bring food or clothes. "It warms my heart," says Hamdi, "I can't work when my girl is like this. I will never stop trying to help her condition. As soon as I can and have enough money, I will check with doctors abroad if there is anything that can be done."
Hamdi maintains a close relationship with his family in Gaza, including his three-year-old son who he left there. The family also sometimes comes to visit him and Maria. "I will never leave her. All my life I will buy things for her, cook for her and feed her," promises Hamdi.

Oppose AIPAC's cynical congressional resolutions on refugees
ACTION:
The lobby representing Israeli apartheid continues to draft resolutions that are contrary to US national interest and that sabotage peace efforts based on human rights and justice. The latest AIPAC's resolution is on “Jewish Refugees from Arab Countries”:
The number of stories i have seen with IDF targeting Children's FOREHEADS on purpose is just getting longer by the day. There seem to be a large number of small children with IDF holes in there heads. This means to save the EMBARRASSMENT of caring for and apologizing for wounding Maria Aman the IDF is now ordered to KILL every child not to WOUND as they were doing before. The israeli's can't have all them hard stolen Shekels going to little Palestinian Wounded. Your IDF Shekels are for Coffins not Wheelchairs Especially when they are so costly i guess.

Israeli State Terrorists
Use Palestinians as Human Shields
a Crime Against International Laws
Israeli state terrorist unites continue to use illegal tactics in their raid operations on the occupied Palestinian West Bank....
Report: 13 Palestinians killed, 188 injured by Israeli army fire during February 2007
In mparent7777's story above
"the ratio of injured children stands at 37.2 % of the total figure of casualties."
Kids as primary targets. (Parent terrorism)
First you take D.C. Then you take New York.
I notice that the troll types like PJZ Totally fail to defend the IDF baby killings in Gaza,West Bank and other parts of Palestine. What can you say? I mean IDF soldier (Helm,bodyarmor,a weapon with bags of sound bombs and rubber coated bullets(Whatever they are)as well as Tanks and Armored jeeeps) against A:Old lady. B:A bunch of rock throwing tots. C:a gravely ill man left in the sun to die.
Not much you can say to defend "Jewish Logic" or more rightly stated "israeli policy" on this inhuman israeli behavior in a land they stole.
First you take D.C. Then you take New York.
You IDF Baby killers are staring down the barrel of a double barreled shotgun packing slugs. Now the gist is that you nutters are going to provoke a killing zone to enact conditions to enact one world government. The banker thieves are SO wrong. There US FED mother bank is the problem the gold and silver are the bullets they use to kill and YOU are the target. You gone with as little damage as is realistic. Your lives are just considered labor and bill paying units. that is it.
Well the bill paying public is sure getting ready to pull the trigger on that shotgun israel.
First you take D.C. Then you take New York.
Well, Mr. Masher, I don't know what it is you're looking for me to say, but I will certainly comment and hope that I address your concerns.
Naturally, you know nothing more about this attack than I do (and than is mentioned in this article), so jumping to conclusions like deliberate targetting is simply foolish.
I will assume, as this article states, that the wounding of this child was accidental. This being the case, there is not much I can say. I offer my condolences to her and her family, but certainly I have no control over a terrorist's choice to (whether intentionally or unintentionally) spend time in the vicinity of young children.
The fact that Palestinians have more primitive weapons than Israel (though you undoubtedly exaggerate in your ridiculous descriptions) makes their intentions no less malicious and barbaric. Collateral damage is a part of warfare. I do not see you shedding tears when Israeli children are ripped apart by suicide bombings or Katyusha rockets which openly and intentionally target civilians.
Was retarded Now i'm Sure!
