She is currently undergoing treatment at Syria’s Cihan Hospital. Her doctor Hani Maarouf said that several people have been trying to get hold of her in the past couple of days. This prompted the police to guard her amid fears of kidnapping. Hospital attacked by gunmen On Monday, a group of gunmen raided the hospital where Aya has been kept, leaving the clinic’s director severely injured. An unnamed hospital official, however, denied reports suggesting that the attackers were attempting to kidnap Aya. The official also revealed that the injured director had suspected a nurse, who was found taking pictures of Aya, of plotting to kidnap her. The nurse was eventually fired. The attackers later told the local police that they weren’t interested in Aya and were going after the director for firing their friend. People offer to adopt Aya While strangers with malevolent intent are causing trouble to Aya, a number of people from across the world are also offering to adopt the child. Aya’s miraculous survival story has captivated people on social media, many of whom were willing to take Aya into their care. One Twitter user wrote, “I want to adopt this child. I’d give her a loving home. She’ll have two sets of grandparents and cousins of all ages. My family would be complete.”
However, Aya’s great-uncle, Saleh al-Badran, said that the baby’s paternal aunt will raise Aya after she is released from the hospital. Read all the Latest News , Trending News , Cricket News , Bollywood News , India News and Entertainment News here. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
