Yousef is a 4-year-old child suffering from a condition that is extremely dangerous and unpredictable. Without warning, he experiences episodes of massive internal bleeding that cause him to vomit large amounts of blood. Each one is a life-threatening emergency.
The family is currently in Egypt but as they don't have residential status, specialised care isn't available. Yousef is facing the prospect of being sent back to Gaza where access to treatment and the specialised nutrition he depends on will be a difficult.

URGENT: 4-year-old child needs medical intervention: please amplify!
4-year-old Youssef, is in a life-threatening medical emergency. He has vomited blood and his haemoglobin has dropped from 13 to 6. He has been diagnosed with esophageal varices and portal vein thrombosis.
The family contacted PCRF and Heal Palestine, but they were told the case cannot be taken because it is considered chronic. The situation is urgent and time-sensitive.
This is a public call for:
• Medical organizations able to support treatment, referral, or transfer
• Journalists and media outlets to help bring attention so the child can access care in time
• Anyone able to put pressure on the two above to act.
