When it comes to treating burns, there isn't a moment to lose as every delay increases the risk of infection and other complications.
The last thing that a burns victim needs when they eventually arrive in hospital, is further delays because the medicines and equipment simply aren’t available. This can often be the case in Palestine, and this is why we are asking for your help.
Each year in the West Bank, approximately 7,600 people suffer the excruciating pain of burns. 65% of these burn victims are children from the West Bank. Burns can occur as the result of house fires, domestic accidents, industrial burns or arson attacks. Restricted access to specialised care prolongs pain and endangers lives. Nobody should suffer in agony because of delay at a checkpoint.
