Julia has a rare disorder that causes episodes of paralysis and life-threatening seizures. She is “an invisible victim” of the war, her doctor said.
Aged just four, Julia Abu Zeiter suffers from a rare neurological disease that can be fatal without medication. The nine-month war in Gaza nearly took Julia’s life, as the fighting and displacement cut off her access to treatment. After an arduous journey, she was finally evacuated from the war-torn enclave on June 27, accompanied only by her 21-year-old aunt, Dareen Zeiter. “The displacement was really difficult, the events in Gaza are very difficult.
For Julia, this meant running out of her medication, which triggered a series of life-threatening seizures. Around a month into the war, Julia ran out of three of the five medications she was taking, Dareen told CNN. This triggered a state of paralysis for six months. With the help of the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund , a US-based non-governmental organization, Julia was able to finally evacuate through Israel’s Kerem Shalom crossing, Dareen said.
