Maha, a 7-year-old girl from Gaza, is paralyzed from the neck down after an airstrike that killed her mother and sisters. She has been in this condition for 22 days, and her recovery depends on urgent treatment abroad. Three hospitals in Germany, Turkey, and the United States are ready to accept her, with a sponsor covering the costs. However, she needs permission from Israel to leave Gaza.
