KSrelief transfers Gaza girl to King Hussein Cancer Cente

  • Habiba Yacoub Ali, 16, in Amman for medical treatment
  • Israel destroyed Gaza’s only specialized cancer hospital

LONDON: Saudi Arabia’s aid agency KSrelief is helping to treat a 16-year-old Palestinian from Gaza, Habiba Yacoub Ali, who has lymphocytic leukemia.

KSrelief transferred Ali to the King Hussein Cancer Center in Amman for medical treatment, the Saudi Press Agency reported recently.

Ali said KSrelief’s work has become a lifeline for individuals facing extremely challenging health conditions in the Palestinian enclave.

Israel’s alleged genocide in Gaza since late 2023 has caused significant damage to medical facilities and the killing of health workers, amid Tel Aviv’s restrictions on essential aid and food to nearly 2 million Palestinians.

In March, Israeli forces destroyed the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, which was Gaza’s only specialized cancer hospital.

In July 2024, KSrelief signed an agreement with the King Hussein Cancer Foundation and Center to treat cancer patients from Gaza in Jordan.

The initiative is a critical lifeline for seriously ill patients in Gaza that reflects Saudi Arabia’s humanitarian work with KSrelief globally, the SPA added.
