Wisam and his father Khairi al-Shingali, members of the Yazidi minority in Iraq, have no home to return to. Wisam, a 17-month-old Yazidi baby, whose family were forced to leave Sinjar after its capture by Islamic State militants (ISIS), diagnosed with congenital heart disease when he was barely a month old. Wisam was brought to Israel in early June by Save a Child’s Heart, an Israeli humanitarian organization that provides free cardiac care to disadvantaged children from the developing world, including Gaza. About 150 children from Arab countries and the Palestinian territories undergo heart surgery every year at the Wolfson Medical Center in Holon. The logistics of getting them in and out of Israel often present challenges, but rarely does it get this complicated. This is how humanitarian Israel! And this is why we all stand with Israel!
