Nine-year-old Huzayfa Afnan, injured by gunfire from across the Myanmar border, has been admitted to the National Institute of Neurosciences (NINS) in Dhaka. She was admitted to a reserved post-operative room at 10:45 p.m. on Tuesday, confirmed by Dr. Humayun Kabir Himu, Associate Professor of Interventional Neurology at the hospital.

Earlier, she had undergone emergency surgery at Chittagong Medical College Hospital after being shot on January 11 in the Hwaikyang Techchabridge area of Teknaf. The bullet caused severe pressure on one side of her brain, leading doctors to remove part of her skull to relieve it. A medical board of specialists in neurosurgery, neurology, pediatrics, vascular surgery, ICU, and anesthesiology decided to transfer her to Dhaka for advanced care.

Doctors at NINS reported that her consciousness level is 7 out of 15, indicating a critical condition. She is on mechanical ventilation, and the medical team has stated they are prepared to take all necessary measures for her treatment.
