The plight of Julia Abu Zeiter is reflective of thousands of other children in Gaza who are injured or ill - but cannot leave the territory for the urgent medical care they need.

A three-year-old Palestinian girl with an ultra-rare genetic condition has been forced backwards in her quest to leave Gaza for life-saving treatment. Julia Abu Zeiter, whose story is being followed by Sky News, was moved with her family from a tent in the southern city of Rafah and relocated to a supposedly safer zone to the north and further away from the border they had hoped to cross. Speaking to Sky News, her mother Maha said: 'We were going through the travel procedures to leave Gaza.

Simon Frost, Annabel's father, has spent the past month in Washington DC bringing together a global network of people in an effort to try to evacuate Julia. Her case is now being driven by the Palestine Children's Relief Fund . Local staff from the PCRF coordinated the family's move out of Rafah to a new tent site further north. On Friday morning, they organised the delivery of medication and solar panel chargers.
