BBC joins Gazan girl, 2, on leg of trip to Jordan for life-saving treatment

Two-year-old Palestinian Habiba al-Askari suffers from a rare disease that has cut off the blood supply to her limbs.

Doctors treating her said she needed to be evacuated to a hospital outside of Gaza to save her life, and some of her limbs.

Jordan has been trying to get Israeli permission to evacuate her for nearly ten days.

The BBC’s special correspondent Fergal Keane travelled with Habiba and her mum on the final stage of her journey in Jordan after Israel approved their evacuation.
