Colombia’s Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo said his government is planning to help up to 50 Palestinian children from Gaza who have lost limbs by bringing them to Colombia and providing them with #prostheses.
Under the programme, the children, aged between 12 and 15 years, would be flown from Egypt to #Colombia alongside a family member or guardian, where they would spend six months in treatment and rehabilitation.
Scarlett Wong, a clinical psychologist for Doctors Without Borders, or Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), travelled to Gaza in March.
Part of her role was to locate and support 17,000 unaccompanied children, including "child heads of households" — the term given to young children who had to look after their siblings.
