Title: Syrian First Lady Asma al-Assad‘s Health Deteriorates; British Media Reports 50% Survival Chance
Syrian first lady Asma al-Assad’s health has reportedly taken a turn for the worse, with British newspaper The Telegraph stating that her chances of survival are now at a mere 50%. The daughter-in-law of former Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, Asma is currently isolated to prevent any further weakening of her immune system.
Asma, who married current Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in 2000, is battling acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive form of cancer that affects the bone marrow and blood. This is not her first bout with cancer; she was previously treated for breast cancer. Her leukemia is believed to have relapsed after a period of remission.
The Telegraph cited an unnamed source close to the family, who revealed that Asma is dying. Her father, a respected cardiologist based in London, has been caring for her over the past six months, first in the United Arab Emirates and later in Moscow.
According to the source, Asma was advised to seek treatment in London but preferred to stay in Moscow. Furthermore, the source claimed that Asma wishes to divorce Bashar, a claim denied by the Kremlin.
The British government has stated that it is against Asma’s return to the UK, with MP Robert Jenrick suggesting that her return would be an "insult" to the millions of Syrian victims of the Assad regime.
Asma’s health condition remains a closely guarded secret by the Assad family and their allies. However, her absence from public life in recent years has fueled speculation about her well-being. The Telegraph’s report sheds light on the dire situation of the former architect and activist, who was once hailed as a symbol of hope for Syria‘s future.
