After a 21-year-old IDF officer lost his life in Gaza, the family donated his corneas to a toddler and 8-year-old boy, who both regained their vision, reports Ynet News:
The corneas of Captain Reei Biran, a 21-year-old team commander in the Golani Brigade who was killed in southern Gaza, were transplanted two weeks ago into two young children at Schneider Children’s Medical Center: a 1.5-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy. Thanks to the donation, both children have regained their sight…
On Wednesday, the family was informed that the donor was a soldier killed in Gaza. “It was overwhelming,” said Avital. “On one hand, we felt immense sorrow for another family that lost their son. On the other hand, we were incredibly grateful—this is a gift we’ve been waiting for over a year.” …
In a letter to the Biran family, Avital wrote: “I can only admire your strength. Out of unbearable grief, you chose to give life. That’s not just generosity—it’s a profound act of humanity. Your son continues to see the world through my son’s eyes.”
