Support for severely burned children from Gaza for their treatment in Munich

The suffering of the people in Gaza is difficult to bear, even from afar in the daily news. It becomes unbearable in detail when the people are given a name and a personal story: when you see a little Yusuf or Mohmad suffering severe burns over 80% of their body surface because their homes are being bombed, but there are no hospitals to treat them because they, too, are being bombed.

In a large-scale initiative by various associations and NGOs (including the German Society for Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, the Refugees Foundation), with the involvement of the WHO and the Federal Foreign Office, permission has now finally been granted—after a tough struggle—for a group of approximately 50 injured children, including accompanying adults, to be flown via Cairo to Germany, where they will be allowed to enter the country for treatment and be distributed among numerous German hospitals. Children with burn injuries will be treated in Munich, at the Schwabing Hospital, where possible.



The Florian Lex Foundation is prepared to cover the accommodation and living costs of the patients and their accompanying persons over the long treatment period, as well as other costs incurred, from insurance to medical treatment and psychological care for the traumatized people.
