The family of a Palestinian boy killed in an accident has helped save the lives of four Israeli children by donating his organs, a rare act after 34 months of conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.and the story goes on:
Eleven-year-old Qaher Aoude died when he fell off the roof of his home near Nablus in the West Bank.There is more, but isn't it so delightful that some people put people before politics? I just wish more people would do so!His family authorised the donation of his organs yesterday over the objections of many of their neighbours angered by Israeli crackdowns on a Palestinian uprising for independence.
"We want Israelis and Americans to know that while the Israeli army kills Palestinians we give life to Israeli children," Murad Aoude, one of Qaher's 17 siblings, said today.
