The Israeli government wants to send Maria Amin, a 5 year old girl from Gaza who was paralyzed by an Israeli missile aimed at a Hamas leader, away from the Israeli hospital where she's being treated and make her move to Ramallah, where she has no family and would have to go through Israeli checkpoints to get back to the Israeli clinic for follow-up appointments.

The hospital staff is fighting to keep her in their hospital. If they lose, she will almost certainly die.

(edited to make it clear that it is the Israeli government, not the entire Israeli nation, that wants to send the child back to die. Most Israelis are better people than that. Hopefully, this might make them realize that the only hope for Israel ever having a government with humane values is to make sure neither Kadima OR Likud when any significant support in the next election. Both parties are led by soulless, bloodsoaked bastards.)
