A seriously ill six-month-old Palestinian baby, who became the focus of headlines across the world when he received a heart transplant from a Jewish child, has died.
Musa was born with a range of life-threatening conditions and received the transplant at Sheba Hospital in Ramat Gan last week.
Doctors had been praying for his recovery since the operation but a spokesman for the hospital said that he was “just too sick” and died on Tuesday morning.
The spokesperson said it was a “miracle” that the baby had made it through the operation itself, believed to be the hospital’s first heart transplant on a child so young.
