QC arranged treatment for victims in Jordanian hospitals and other specialised hospitals.
Qatar Charity (QC) has implemented its third project for the benefit of Syrians with
severe injuries.
Some 100 people have benefited from the initiative and been transferred to Jordan.
Implemented in co-operation with Association of Ahl Horan, the project meets the pressing needs of Syrians with critical injuries, according to a statement.
QC offered first-aid to the victims, shifted them to nearby Jordanian hospitals and finally transferred them to specialised hospitals, depending on the severity of the injury.
The neurological cases treated included head bruises, shrapnel and gunshots in the brain and vertebral fracture of the neck, which results in complete or partial paralysis. As for the pulmonary cases, the injuries included bruises and pulmonary contusion, pleural effusion and heart injuries.
In addition, some other injuries that were treated included those in the abdominal organs and the blood vessel, burns of all levels, eye injuries and loss of vision, which resulted from shrapnel hits.
Rashid bin Fatis al-Mari, director of QC’s relief department, said, “Jordan receives tens of Syrian injured coming from Hauran, the Damascus countryside and Kenitra every day. The wounded usually suffer from severe injuries that require intensive care. Therefore, QC decided to allocate funds to the tune of around $100,000 to treat the severe injuries. These funds are automatically renewed after the end of each treatment stage to more than 100 Syrian injured at least.”
QC, al-Mari noted, continues to nurse the injured until their full recovery. In addition, QC will do everything necessary to make sure that the injured do not suffer from deformities and malformations, he added.
From April 2011 until this September, 6,083,517 crisis-affected Syrians have benefited from QC projects implemented at a total cost of QR322,000,000.
These projects cover areas such as shelter (QR120,214,000), food (QR102,561,000), health (QR68,214,000) and education (QR30,755,000).
Meanwhile, more than 100 people suffering from partial or complete paralysis, or whose legs were amputated because of the ongoing crisis in Syria, benefited from QC’s electric wheelchairs project.
Wheelchairs were distributed to 36 people with complete paralysis, 44 people with partial paralysis and 20 people whose legs were amputated.
QC has also supplied a number of field hospitals and medical charity points with eight fully equipped ambulances.
