(AGPS)- A Palestinian child who lived in Syria’s Yarmouk Camp before he fled to Beirut’s Burj AlBarajneh refugee camp sustained second-degree burns all over 35% of his body and called for urgent treatment at local hospitals.
Activists quoted the child as appealing to the concerned humanitarian institutions to help him secure treatment expenses, estimated at some $690, and another sum of money needed to purchase medicines and carry out medical follow-up.
Nearly 28,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria have sought shelter in Lebanon, where they have been subjected to a precarious legal status and dire socio-economic conditions owing to their lack of access to vital services, particularly health care.
