When Sila’s mother, Nariman, noticed she wasn’t moving, she was less than three weeks old.
“I informed my husband that the baby hadn’t stirred for some time when I woke up in the morning. According to Nariman al-Najmeh, “he uncovered her face and found her blue, biting her tongue, with blood coming out of her mouth.”
