Palestinian girl wounded in Israeli attack to be treated in Türkiye

Manal Salman also said the girl's feet and right hand had to be amputated

n 11-year-old Palestinian girl, who was injured in recent Israeli attacks targeting Gaza, will receive treatment in Turkiye, Qazet.az reports.

On Tuesday, the Palestinian group Hamas announced that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan agreed to receive Rahaf Salman for treatment in Türkiye.

"The Turkish president graciously agreed to receive injured girl, Rahaf Salman, and her family for treatment in Türkiye," Hamas said in a statement.

According to Hamas, Rahaf Salman appealed on Monday for help to transfer her to Türkiye for treatment.

An Egypt-brokered cease-fire came into force last Sunday to end three days of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza and retaliatory rocket fire.

The Israeli offensive left at least 45 Palestinians dead and injured over 360 others, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

The girl's mother, Manal Salman, told Anadolu Agency that Rahaf Salman and her 13-year-old brother, Mohamed Salman, were "injured Saturday by an Israeli rocket that landed in Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip."

Manal Salman also said the girl's feet and right hand had to be amputated.
