Swedish woman fears for daughter held in Gaza
By HILARY LEILA KREIGER
A Swedish woman whose five children were abducted by their Palestinian father
in June and taken to the Gaza Strip from their home in Sweden is worried that
one her daughters is seriously ill.
Elisabeth Krantz's 15-year-old daughter Miriam was diagnosed with diabetes 10
months before her abduction. In a phone conversation they had last week,
Krantz said, her daughter complained of fatigue and back pain in the area of
her kidneys. She consulted with Miriam's Swedish doctor, who told her that it
sounded like she has an infection that must be treated. He also raised
concerns about whether she is getting the right insulin dosage, since it
takes a year after diagnosis to sort out the proper level and Miriam said she
has only seen a doctor once instead of every two weeks as required.
"Now that Miriam is more and more sick, I feel it's more and more urgent for
the children to come out of there," Krantz said. "She can die if her kidneys
aren't working properly."
Krantz on Sunday left Sweden, where the children were raised and where their
father, Ismail Nowajha, lived for 16 years, to come to Israel to pursue the
matter. She said she hopes to meet with the Swedish consul Tuesday, though
she feels her government hasn't done enough in this matter.
"It's been five months, and I've seen nothing," she said. "I want them to do
something. It drives me crazy. I want results, not just talk."
But Christian Carlsson, a Swedish Foreign Ministry press officer, said, "The
only thing we can do is act as mediators and help find a solution."
He added that Swedish officials have been in "constant contact" with both
Krantz and Nowajha to try to broker an agreement without having to resort to
legal action. Though Nowajha's actions violate both Swedish and international
law, according to Carlsson, the government's options are limited since the
children are no longer in Swedish territory.
At the same time, he said, "The suggestion the ministry has not done anything
or very little is not based on truth," pointing to a recent meeting between
Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat and Swedish Foreign Minister
Laila Freivalds in which Freivalds raised the issue.
"Yasser Arafat said that this issue was already solved because he has a
solution, which we can see is not actually the case," Carlsson said, adding
that he did not know the state of Miriam's health.
PA officials, however, said that the matter is a legal one rather than a
political one and that they can't take children away from their father. They
said Krantz must file a case with the Islamic court in Gaza.
Krantz, who is Christian and whose ex-husband is Muslim, said she will
discuss the possibility of filing such a case with her lawyer on Tuesday, but
asked, "What are my chances of winning in an Islamic court?"
Krantz was in the process of divorcing Nowajha when he arranged to take the
children, who range in age from 6 to 16, on a holiday to Cairo. Instead of
returning as promised, she said, he took them to his sister's home in
northern Gaza, where he himself is from.
Krantz met Nowajha, a waiter, at a local hotel when she was in Netanya in
1986 visiting a friend. They were married in Sweden two years later.
According to Krantz, except for her oldest daughter, Sara, the children don't
know Arabic and aren't able to attend school. "They are there against their
will, and it's not a good place to be in the best of times. They have no
future," she said.
