In Lebanon, the family of the Palestinian girl, "Roha Shoaib" (7 years), who was displaced from Syria to Al-Bass camp in the city of Tire, appealed through the Action Group to the humanitarian organizations, the International Red Cross, UNRWA and the Lebanese Minister of Health to intervene to treat their child who is at risk of tongue amputation. The child needs to carry out two consecutive operations at the Hotel Dieu Hospital, separated by a period of 48 hours.
According to the family, the two operations will cost $12 thousand, which is a very high cost for a family that suffers from poverty and lives on UNRWA's financial assistance. The family added that it provided UNRWA with the medical reports and official papers that explain the girl’s condition, however they have not received any support to this moment. They noted that the church donated three thousand Euros of support for her treatment, however the child still needs an additional $8500 to cover the operation costs.
