On April 15, seventeen injured children from the West Bank and Gaza
Strip, many of them injured during Israel's January assault on Gaza,
arrived in Dubai, the U.A.E. to start treatment that is not available
to them locally. The Gaza children included 17-year-old Ayoub Atallah
from Beit Hanoun, who lost his right leg and part of his left hand
from an Israeli bomb, Mousa Al Soud, 14 y, from the Briej refugee
camp, who lost his right hand from an Israeli bomb, Omer Abu Rahman,
17 y, from central Gaza, who lost his left leg from an Israeli bomb,
Somaia Al Makadmeh, 18-year-old Somaia Al Makadmeh, who lost her left
leg from an Israeli bomb, Khould Al Seesi, 18 y, from Gaza. She lost
her leg above the knee from a bomb. All of these amputees will be
treated through the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Humanitarian
and Charity Establishment, who has worked with the past already over
the past year to send over one-dozen injured kids to Dubai for medical
care and also millions of dollars worth of donated medical supplies to
Gaza.
Another child from Gaza, Adham Al Rozzi from Gaza City, who is
cerebral palsy child suffering from club feet. He is being treated by
Dr. Maarten Spruit of the Dubai Bone and Joint Center and City
Hospital in Dubai.
The West Bank children who are also being treated are Mohammed Sweeti,
3 y, from Hebron, who lost his left arm; Ahmed Jawabrah, 14 y, from
Hebron, who was born without a right arm; Sahar Ali Al Mour, 16 y,

from a bomb; 15-year-old Naian Khaled Abed Allateef Radad from
Tulkarem, who was born without a right arm; 16-year-old Younis Galbous
from Mirkah/Jenin, who is missing his right leg; 7-year-old Kareem
Awwad from Jenin, who was born without a arm; Sabreen Musbah, 16 y,
from Nablus, who was born without an arm; and Mohammed Azar, 16 y,
from Nablus, who is missing his left leg. All of these children are
being treated through the support of the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum Humanitarian and Charity Establishment.
Also from the West Bank is 6-year-old Sana Toobasi from Jenin, who is
suffering from a variety of orthopedic disorders, including club feet.
She is being treated by Dr. Marc Sinclair of the Little Wings
Foundation in Dubai.
Many of these children are traveling with their mothers and their
logistical, social, and emotional support is being addressed by the
hard work and help of dozens of volunteers in Dubai, led by the PCRF
chapter there. Without the support of the PCRF chapter and the
community in Dubai, these kids would not be able to get the care that
they need.
