WHAT ED O'LOUGHLIN WILL NEVER WRITE ABOUT

GAZA BABY TREATED AT ISRAELI HOSPITAL

A Magen David Adom ambulance transferred an eight-day-old Palestinian baby from Gaza to the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer Sunday evening.

This humanitarian act took place during one of the more difficult days in terms of Qassam launchings, during which a 36-year-old Oshri Oz was killed in Sderot.

The baby suffers from a congenital heart defect and without proper treatment will not survive long. He was transferred to the Erez crossing, where an MDA ambulance was waiting to transfer him to hospital ventilated and in an incubator.

"We transfer patients from the Gaza Strip under fire on a daily basis," said Moshe Vaknin, deputy manager of Lachish region of MDA. "Last week, our medics continued to treat a patient while shells were fired at the terminal at Erez. During the Shavuot holiday we evacuated another baby in an incubator, endangering our staff."

The baby is now hospitalized at the intensive care department at the Safra Children's Hospital at the Chaim Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer.

Why do we never read stories like this in the Melbourne Age?

Leave the guy alone. He's trying hard. Today, he wrote about desalination in Israel and was half nice about it. He'll become a mensch one day. I guarantee you.

If he wrote something nice about Israel he would have been pissed at the time.

Excuse, that I can not participate now in discussion - there is no free time. I will be released - I will necessarily express the opinion on this question.
