Palestinian Refugee Child in Need of Urgent Treatment in Turkey

Palestinian Refugee Child in Need of Urgent Treatment in Turkey

The family of Palestinian child from Syria Hasan Zaatout continues to launch distress signals over the child’s need of urgent treatment after he was diagnosed with Familial Mediterranean Fever.

Hasan, aged 6, is an orphan. He lives with his aunt and brothers. Last year, one of his brothers died of the same disease. 

The child is being treated at Turkish hospitals. He needs three medicine doses which are only available in European countries and cost 3,000 Euros.

Activists have launched a solidarity campaign on social media in an attempt to collect the needed sum.

Familial Mediterranean Fever is a genetic auto-inflammatory disorder that causes recurrent fevers and painful inflammation of the abdomen, lungs and joints. It is an inherited disorder that usually occurs in people of Mediterranean origin — including those of North African, Jewish, Arab, Armenian, Turkish, Greek or Italian ancestry. But it can affect people in any ethnic group.

Familial Mediterranean Fever is typically diagnosed during childhood. While there is no cure for this disorder, it is possible to relieve signs and symptoms of familial Mediterranean fever — or even prevent them altogether — by sticking to a treatment plan.
