The family of Palestinian-Syrian “Qosai Mosleh” has called on the humanitarian and international organizations and the Palestinian authorities and their President, to move to reach their son who is being treated in an Italian hospital.
His father, Ahmed Mosleh, said: "My son lost his memory three years ago when a boat carrying hundreds of immigrants from Libya to Italy sank on 2-8-2014. My son was one of the survivors however I lost contact with him".
A few days later, his father was able to contact one of the nurses in Lampedusa Hospital, who confirmed that Qosai was alive and receiving treatment without clarifying his condition. The nurse then told the family that Qosai had been moved to another hospital in Sicily, south of Italy, where the hospital confirmed that Qosai had lost his memory.
The father added: “We tried contacting the Red Cross in Syria, Lebanon, Norway, Sweden and Canada without any success. A family friend living in Norway went to the Italian hospital to follow up on Qosai’s condition, however the hospital refused to let him in or give him any information.”
According to Ahmed Mosleh, they contacted the activist “Fatma Gaber” who played an important role in the case. She contacted the Palestinian Ambassador to Italy, “Mai Keela” who said that she cannot do anything to the young man because the Italian law doesn’t provide information or allow anyone to contact Qosai except for a family member.
At the end of his appeal, Qosai’s father asked to allow him or his mother to travel to see their only son in hospital, stressing on the need of the Palestinian authority and its embassy to move in order to solve this case.
Qosai’s family which consists of the mother, Amira Nassar, Qosai and three girls, had fled from Yarmouk camp for Palestinian refugees in south Damascus to Lebanon, while the father Ahmed Mosleh remained besieged in Syria.
The family had turned to Beddawi camp in Lebanon in 2013 and after Qosai failed to find a job despite him holding a Network Engineering Certificate (MSCE) and graduating from the Informatics Institute, he decided to head to Libya then to Europe.
Thousands of Palestinian refugees have left fled from Syria to the neighboring and European countries. More than 50 refugees have died in sinking accidents on immigration routes, while others have disappeared with their fates remaining mysterious to this date.
