What Doctors Said

Doctors in Pisa said Abu Zuhri came in very weak. She had lost a dangerous amount of weight and muscle before arriving. Despite being given urgent treatment, her condition was too critical. She suffered a heart attack and could not be saved.

Why She Was in Italy

Italy has started a special program to bring patients from Gaza who cannot get the medical care they need at home. Abu Zuhri was one of those selected for treatment abroad. Sadly, her health had already declined so much that doctors could not reverse the damage.
