    Fadi’s condition requires that he consume up to twice the amount of calories of other children his age. It also requires specific medication: an enzyme that helps people like Fadi get nutrients from food. Without either, Fadi began to waste away, his 31-year-old mother, Shaima, said.

    After one night in Rafah, Fadi, his siblings and their mother were evacuated into Egypt on March 24. Fadi received care in an Egyptian hospital to ensure he gained back some weight and that his lungs were taking in enough oxygen to get on an airplane. Flying can be risky for people with untreated cystic fibrosis.
