(MED) Israeli Hospital Saves Life Of Palestinian Boy

"At Israel's Emek Hospital, it doesn't matter if you're Jewish, Christian, or Moslem.

On Thursday, June 3, just three days after the Gaza flotilla raid, 15-year-old Muhammed Kalalwe was working in his family's fields. They live in Jenin, a Palestinian city in the northern West Bank, bordering Israel's Jezreel Valley and the city of Afula. The boy noticed a deadly viper snake and tried killing it with a rock, but the dangerous creature struck out and bit his right palm.

Screams and panic ensued and within minutes, the boy's father, Hafed, grabbed his stricken son and rushed him to the Jenin Hospital. They were ill-prepared to treat the boy, had no anti-serum and decided to send him by ambulance to the Emek Medical Center in Afula, Israel." (source)
