URGENT: 4-year-old child needs medical intervention: please amplify!
Location: Egypt

4-year-old Youssef, is in a life-threatening medical emergency. He has vomited blood and his haemoglobin has dropped from 13 to 6. He has been diagnosed with esophageal varices and portal vein thrombosis.

The family contacted PCRF and Heal Palestine, but they were told the case cannot be taken because it is considered chronic. The situation is urgent and time-sensitive.
This is a public call for:

• Medical organizations able to support treatment, referral, or transfer

• Journalists and media outlets to help bring attention so the child can access care in time

• Anyone able to put pressure on the two above to act.

Update 20260314 - 13: 20 GMT

The family has currently been evacuated to Egypt. Added the information higher up for better visibility as this was new information for me.

Update: 20260315 - 09:45 GMT
The family has been been told to send their details to #ChildrenNotNumbers for review. Their fears are the case being turned away because they evacuated to Egypt. The doctors in Egypt have claimed there is no medical intervention available. The case is chronic, but things can definitely be done. Escalate pressure. 🙏

Update: 20260327 - 20:35 GMT
The family has not heard back from any organisations yet. Yousef's condition is extremely dangerous and unpredictable. Each episode is a life-threatening emergency. Access to specialised care is impeded by their lack of residential status.

Yousef is currently facing the prospect of being sent back to Gaza where access to treatment and the specialised nutrition he depends on will be a difficult.

This post was made five days ago, and there have been no posts since then. I am very worried about the boy's condition.
However, looking at the donation page, it seems this is not the first time the he has vomited blood; it appears to be a recurring issue.
Recently they received donations twice, today and two days ago, but other than that, donations have stopped for several months.

Hello,

The original post is no longer accessible.

On the donation foundraising page, i see :
"Good morning friend ,

Finally, after a long wait, we received the news that we will be able to leave the Gaza Strip—now devoid of the essentials of life—and travel within two days for Yusuf’s treatment. Without your support, we would not have had the patience or strength to continue ❤️❤️"

I suppose it didn't work out?

@gomli

That's mysterious.
This morning (in Japan) the post still could be seen.
After that it was deleted.
If the dangerous situation still exists, it is completely unreasonable.
And if once safety have come, the poster would have said something.
I'd rather not speculate, but there are certainly a lot of inconsistencies. Let's reserve judgment for now. But if it's a fake post, that would be ideal, since it would confirm the child is safe.

@iamdorkside

Do you have further information?

Thanks, I'm just catching up. The tweet has been restricted, unfortunately. I can add the actual content below with CW for blood.

The update I received is that the family have been evacuated to Egypt but there is no real medical support.

We contacted PCRF and Heal Palestine but they cannot take the case because it is chronic. I am urgently asking any medical organization or doctor to help review his case and support his treatment. Please help us.

Anyway I'm worry about the boy.

I have no doubt that the medical issue is genuine, but regarding the request, we would at least need to know which city/country they are in to arrange medical assistance ?
