OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- A four-year-old Palestinian girl was paralyzed for life after being hit with an Israeli bullet in her neck on Wednesday.
Professor Samy Hussein, a neurosurgeon at Maqased hospital in Jerusalem, said that a medical team had performed an operation on Aseel Arara, 4, and that she was currently in the intensive care.
He said that the Israeli bullet penetrated her neck from the left and got out from her right shoulder directly inflicting irreparable damage to her spinal cord.
Hussein said that the bullet was most probably of a machinegun and not a pistol, adding that the chances of improving the childs condition were very slim.
The Jerusalemite child was hit by the bullet on Wednesday fired from a training camp for the Israeli army built on Anata village land to the north east of occupied Jerusalem.
