Sick Palestinian refugee from Syria Maher Ramadan Omar, aged 30, has gone homeless due to the security mayhem rocking Ein AlHilweh refugee camp, south of Lebanon.
Maher, who fled Yarmouk Camp in Syria in the hunt for a safer shelter, has gone quadriplegic following a road accident in Sidon. He is in need of a deep brain stimulation (a neurosurgical procedure involving the implantation of a medical device called a neurostimulator, sometimes referred to as a 'brain pacemaker'). The surgery costs up to $5,000.
As the security situation has taken a turn for the worse in Ein AlHilweh Camp, Maher fled to the seaside, seeking a respite from bloody strife.
A number of activists called on the concerned institutions to make serious steps so as to secure Maher’s treatment fees and provide him with a decent shelter before it is too late.
Recently, Furqan Charity in Ein AlHilweh handed over in-kind and medical aids to Maher. At the same time, a delegation of medics from AlHamshari Hospital was tasked with hospitalizing Maher and providing him with the needed checks and therapy.
