Gaza Burn Care Denied
Six-year-old Masa Yassin is at risk of having treatment for severe burns she suffered in July interrupted. The burns were caused by a gas cylinder exploding near her family’s tent in Gaza. Plastic materials needed to make her 3D-printed medical masks are being barred from entering the territory. Doctors Without Borders (MSF), which runs the only clinic in Gaza offering this treatment, says shortages of plastic sheets and filaments are hampering the production of new masks. Technicians are making manual adjustments to Masa’s current mask. The clinic treats around 70 people with facial burns, including 50 children. The medical team warns that interrupting treatment could lead to complications affecting speech, eating and drinking, as well as psychological and social effects.
