Fatima Kotaish, a Syria girl, refugee in Ramtha city in Jordan, suffers of severe burns in her head for two and a half year.
Fatima was burned with hot oil, when she entered quickly to her family’s tent in Zatari, and she hit the pot of boiling oil and fell over her head.
“I took her to the Moroccan Hospital in Zatari where they gave her medication and creams to treat her, but her condition deteriorated, till a Jordanian man helped me to get out of the camp to treat her outside” her father, Abo Azzam told Zaman al-Wasl about the incident.
Afterward, Fatima moved with her family to Ramtha city in Jordan and has lived very difficult life, as her father unable to work because of the new working rules for Syrian refugees in Jordan, then he worked in making “Awama”, a simple traditional Syrian sweets.
The father took Fatima to “Takafol Clinic" to treat her burns, and when they healed, they started treating her hair and shoulder with Laser, the father detailed.
“Scars in her head and neck needed treatment, I was told about Doctors without borders organization situated in the red crescent In Amman, where doctors refused to treat her because the success rates are low, then I went to Hospital of Dar al-Salam to consult a visiting doctor” the father detailed in pain.
He added that a private doctor demanded 14 thousand Jordanian Dinar to operation, but he expressed his regret have that operation done to her, because her condition has deteriorated.
“in the hospital she needed to have balloons installed under skin and they needed regular inflating, but unfortunately, the procedure was too painful and the area got infected” Abo Azzam detailed.
The father mentioned that after treating infection, she needed to have the balloons inflated for 4 months till now, and she is waiting for the operation.
In the end, Abo Azzam, Fatima’s father, appealed to the Humanitarian organization to help him in treating his daughter, as the United Nation Higher Commission for refugees has ceased his aid and kept only the monthly food voucher, which were dropped from 24 Dinar per head into only 10 Dinar only, making 50 Dinars for the whole family.
