Madaya residents say U.N. ban wounded people exit

(Zaman Al Wasl) Field sources in the village of Madaya al-Riwaya confirmed the United Nations are setting as a condition the evacuation of the villages of Kefrya and al-Foaa (Idlib countryside) for it to evacuate a child in need of an urgent operation after she was shot by a Hezbollah sniper.

In her talk with Zaman al-Wasl, the sources described the equation as one in exchange for one which the UN is committed too as a rule with the international organization on the basis it is committed to the truce agreement text. Based on the rule, the UN will not turn to any humanitarian case in Madaya and al-Zabadani (Damascus countryside) if there is no similar case in the villages of Kefrya and al-Foaa.

This rule has led to widespread and reoccurring disappointment among the people of Madaya and al-Zabadani with the appearance of cases that require emergency assistance, but the besieged avoid criticizing the United Nations team directly either on the basis it represents a weak and beaten link in the chain or because the people do not want to sever their ties with only gate for the passage of aid and reception of requests. Despite the narrowness of the door and its low ceiling, its team are strictly committed to the agreement texts, and do not try to break any of those texts, even if it places the life of a young child at danger.



Regarding the health situation of the injured child Ghina Quwyder, who is around 9 years old, sources said the child is still suffering intense pain from the sniper shot, and she is being treated with painkillers due to the lack of medicine and necessary equipment to confront such injuries.

Madaya has been suffering an intense siege for around a year, imposed especially by the mercenaries of Hezbollah, by placing checkpoints, placing mines on all the roads and exits that overlook the village to prevent the exit of any human being regardless of his situation.

Around 40 thousand persons live in the besieged town amid low living standards in terms of food and medicine, as it is not possible to bring in any essential products except through UN which the residents complain about the scarcity of its assistance and the long duration of time between its convoys coming to the town.
