Interior Minister Gideon Sa'ar approved Sunday the arrival of three Iraqi children aged one, four and five to Israel, in order to receive lifesaving medical care at the Edith Wolfson Medical Center in Holon. The three are expected to arrive at the Israeli hospital within the next few days.
Sa'ar approved the children's entrance to the country on grounds of humanitarian aid, promoted by Save a Child's Heart, an Israel-based international project, which has so far coordinated cardiac surgeries for some 3,000 children from 44 countries.
Since 2004, Ynet learned, 180 Iraqi children have made it to Israel 50 of them in the past two years.
At the moment, Israeli hospitals are treating children from Iraq, as well as from the Palestinian Authority, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Gana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Romania and China. Doctors and nurses from Tanzania, Ethiopia, the Palestinian Authority and Georgia are also taking part on the project and are undergoing training in Israeli hospitals.
