Muscat: Gazal Mohammed, the four-year-old Jordanian girl who was critically injured after her family car caught fire last Wednesday at a fuel station in Sur, has opened her eyes, exactly seven days after the incident.

Gazal's three-year-old brother Sulaiman also suffered burns in the incident.
“Gazal will be transferred to Khoula hospital for further treatment,” Mohmood added. The little girl suffered 75 per cent burns after the family car caught fire at a petrol station. She and her brother were rescued by Omani hero Mohammed Al Hashmi.
Her brother Sulaiman was transferred to Khoula hospital on Tuesday.
Last Wednesday, Mohammed Al Hashmi, an Omani father of five children, pulled out Gazal and Sulaiman from the burning car at the fuel station.
Mahmood Atiyah the uncle of the girl said. "Thanks god she became better and the hospital is transferring her today to Khaula hospital. All medical devices were taken away except for the oxygen one," said the uncle.
Khoula Hospital's specialists were monitoring Gazal's condition on a daily basis and were waiting for her condition to improve in order to transfer her to Muscat.
"We are all happy that both kids now will be under the specialist burns unit in Khoula hospital. We thank everyone who prayed for our kids and ask them to pray more so Gazal and Sulaiman can go back home to Sur to see their brother and sister," said the uncle.
