Five-year-old Mira needs emergency care for a serious but treatable condition. An East Jerusalem hospital is ready to treat her— she just needs permission. On June 8, 2026, her 11-year-old brother Seraj passed away from the same illness while waiting to be medically evacuated.
We have seen the consequences of this kind of delay before.
In March, five-month-old Baby Alma was accepted for emergency treatment at a Jerusalem hospital, and the U.S. Ambassador intervened to press for her evacuation. But it was too late. On March 24th, she died waiting. This should never happen again. 4,000 children like Alma and Mira await medical evacuation.
Tell Congress to act now. Urge your Senators and Representative to reopen the medical corridor from Gaza to the East Jerusalem Hospital Network, and to press for the release of the detained Palestinian healthcare workers. Email Congress Now– https://actionnetwork.org/letters/gaza-patients
