Thara Abu-Hussein, a one-year old baby from the town of Baka al-Garbiya, sustained moderate to severe injuries in yesterday’s attack. She suffers from burns on 15% of her body.
The baby was transferred yesterday to Rambam Hospital in Haifa and was immediately rushed to the operating room. According to the hospital, in the next few days she will undergo a series of operations.
“What is a one-year old baby guilty of?” asked the baby’s uncle, Rashid Marana. “What is her mother guilty of that she has to see her like this, completely burnt. Whoever did this is a criminal. A bomb doesn’t know the difference between Jews and Arabs and it is forbidden to hurt children. A struggle is something for one army against another army.”
Thara’s mother, Manal, sat next to her daughter crying. Her husband, the baby’s father, was also seriously wounded in the attack. “Leave her alone,” said the baby’s uncle, “Let her deal with this pain. It’s hard enough for us especially since she doesn’t know what’s going on with her husband, who is lying in Hadera.”
