The mother of the injured Palestinian refugee "Ahmad Moussa", 31, launched cries for help after her son’s health condition has taken a serious turn for the worse.
Moussa, a former resident of Yarmouk who is currently taking refuge in the southern Lebanese province of Al-Kharroub, sustained critical injuries in a motorcycle accident in Al-Marj town some 30 days ago.
His mother said right after the accident he was evacuated to the Central Hospital in Mazboud area, where he received treatment for four days. She later transferred him to the Sidon-based Al-Hamshari Hospital due to the steep treatment fees. Ahmad underwent a scanner but medics refused to provide him with any further treatment after the family failed to shell out the medical charges. The patient will only regain admission into the hospital if the family pays $2,000 for a device instilled in his face to repair the fractures inflicted by the motor vehicle crash.
His mother appealed to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the Palestinian factions and charities in Lebanon, and all other concerned parties, to urgently step in and help the family secure the remaining $1,500 after UNRWA donated only $500.
The mother also said several charities and relief bodies reneged on their promises to rally around her wounded son.
