..due to child’s heart condition
The Tel Aviv (in Israel) District Court yesterday forbade a foreign worker’s deportation so that his infant daughter could receive medical care for a congenital heart defect.
Amos Krampa came to Israel from Ghana in 1998 as a tourist and started working. He later married another Ghanaian working in Israel, and in 2004, their daughter was born.
Last year, the state sought to deport him. When the Interior Ministry refused to postpone the deportation because of his daughter’s condition, he went to court, and yesterday the court agreed to let him stay another year. At that point, his daughter’s medical situation will be reexamined, after which a decision will be made as to whether to deport him.
