(Zaman Al Wasl)- Maha Jasim Halawik, a-4-year-old girl from Zara town in countryside of Homs, suffers from a state of mute-deaf and dislocation in her left hip during rescuing her from under the rubbles of her house.
Mohammed Kassab detailed that the girl was injured during the siege forced on Zara town in the beginning of 2014, when their house was targeted by a rocket a man tried to draw her from her leg and threw her away to a secure place, that caused dislocation of the left hip, which affected her ability of walking.
Kassab added that Maha's father died during the attack, and she was left with her mother and an eldest sister, and they went to Lebanon, where another chapter of pain started.
The mother explained that she contacted most the humanitarian and aid organizations to find support to treat her daughter, but all went in vain, till Dr. Emran from Saudi Arabia donated $2000 to cover the cost of an operation to fix the hip, which was done 5 months later.
Maha s now recovering from the operation and going through physio-therapy sessions to improve her ability to cope with the prosthetic hip.
Doctors discovered that Maha was not able to hear after the accident, and that affected her ability to talk. But Doctors hope that nerves are still active and she can benefit from using the ear piece.
The opposition activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported the number of children killed in the conflict had risen to 12,517, while at the same time 8,062 women were also killed, By mid-October 2015.
It is estimated that 11.5% of Syria’s population have been killed or injured since the beginning of the revolution in March 2011, The Guardian said Thursday citing data from a new report from the Syrian Centre for Policy Research (SCPR).
Findings from the SCPR suggest that the number of deaths caused by war, directly and indirectly reached to approximately 470,000, almost double the figure of 250,000 used by the United Nations, until it stopped collating statistics in 2014. The body said the lack of access and reliability of statistics were the main reasons why they stopped counting Syria’s dead.
Of the 470,000 dead the report estimates that 400,000 were directly due to violence, while the remaining 70,000 died after failing to receive adequate health services, such as medicine, especially for chronic diseases, as well as lack of food, clean water, sanitation and proper housing.
The number of wounded estimated at 1.9 million while life expectancy has dramatically dropped from 70 in 2010 to 55.4 in 2015.
