Jerusalem ? A Palestinian girl received a kidney from a young Scottish student killed in Thursday’s suicide bombing saving her life, officials said Sunday.

Yasmin Abu Ramila, 7, a Palestinian from east Jerusalem, had been on a transplant waiting list and undergoing dialysis treatment for almost two years, an Israeli Health Ministry official said.

A suitable donor became available when Jonathan Jesner, 19, a Jewish seminary student from Scotland, died Friday, a day after he was wounded when a Palestinian suicide bomber blew up a bus in Tel Aviv. Six Israelis were killed, including the seminary student.

“I don’t know what to say to thank the family of the man killed in the attack,” the Maariv daily quoted Abu Ramila’s mother, Rina, as saying. “I grieve for their loss and thank them for their donation.”
