Selah, the three-year-old survivor of an Israeli airstrike in Gaza has arrived in Malta where she will be given medical care. 

The young girl, Selah, lost her mother and brother during the airstrike, which also left her with severe injuries. The journey to Malta was made possible through the generosity of donors and the collaborative efforts of the Palestinian Embassy in Malta and the Maltese government.

Upon arriving in Malta, Selah was greeted by cheers and applause, as the Ambassador of Palestine, Fadi G. H. Hanania held her in his hands.

He further stated that the little one is proof of the mass civilian casualties in Gaza, noting that since Israel started its attack on Palestine, 30,000 people were killed with half of them being women and children.

Hanania thanked the activists and Maltese authorities responsible for Selah’s journey to the island.
