'Her body just shut down' - Gazan man reunited with wife in Ireland tells how she was hospitalised the next day due to starvation
"Areej Al Zohoor was hospitalised with 'severe exhaustion and starvation' just a day after arriving in Dublin"
"Feras Shaheen waited anxiously for his wife of six months to appear through the arrivals door at Dublin Airport."
"Areej Al Zohoor (28) had been evacuated from war-torn Gaza by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) just days before, and as she slowly emerged through the crowds, waif-like and frightened, Mr Shaheen (23) could finally allow himself to believe he had a future with her."
Areej Al Zohoor, 28, was evacuated from war-torn Gaza by the Department of Foreign Affairs days before arriving in Dublin. Her husband, Feras Shaheen, 23, had married her six months earlier and waited anxiously at Dublin Airport arrivals for her to appear. She emerged slowly through the crowds, described as waif-like and frightened. A day after arrival she was hospitalised with 'severe exhaustion and starvation'. Mr Shaheen's relief at her arrival was tempered by her fragile physical state and the immediate need for medical attention following evacuation and arrival.
