A Lebanese mother saw her two-year-old son for the first time since the Beirut blast in 2020. She is mostly paralyzed and unable to speak

Lebanese mother Liliane Cheaito, stuck in the hospital since the Beirut blast two years ago, saw her son for the first time on Thursday following a court ruling in a protracted family dispute with her husband.

Two of her four sisters told Reuters that her husband, Hassan Ali Hodroj, had barred her from seeing their son Ali, now two years old, during her stay in the hospital. Liliane’s family in 2020 filed a complaint with Shi’ite religious authorities seeking to compel Hodroj to allow the child to visit his injured mother.

“The court issued a final decision on Wednesday mandating weekly visits and our father and lawyer met with Mufti Ahmed Qabalan this morning,” said Nawal Cheaito, Liliane’s sister.A photo shared by the family showed Liliane in her hospital bed, extending her left hand to a curly-haired boy in a black shirt that the family identified as two-year-old Ali.
