Two years after life-saving surgery: Baby Noor’s troubling future
March 9th, 2008From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Two years ago, Georgia Army National Guard soldiers spurred an effort to bring a baby with spina bifida from Iraq to Atlanta for surgery.
Now back at home with her grandmother Soad in Baghdad, Noor’s future remains uncertain. Her family has been targeted by insurgents for taking help from Americans. Noor al-Zahra is paralyzed from the waist down. Soad worries about how she will be able to provide adequate care for her granddaughter. The child’s parents divorced shortly after the surgery, and her father has since remarried.
