around her mouth with a suspected case of having ingested poison.

Hospital emergency section.
Dr Kishen Pakkal, CEO of the hospital, said: “Najat was flown out at 5am on Thursday
morning to Addis Ababa and was reunited with her family. After being comatose
for so many months, she was only able to open her eyes and cry sometimes and we
feel being united with her loved ones was the best humanitarian gesture we
could have extended to her.”
Nurye had come to the UAE on a housemaid visa and she went
into coma even before her visa could be stamped or health insurance issued.
