Malak is another girl whose facial features were deformed by burns that also damaged her hand. The fire of a bombing barrel left her with these deformations. She needed medications, ointments while she was receiving treatment in Turkey.
All of these cases and many others were secured through the 1000 Medical Cases campaign. 525 cases were admitted from Syria, 189 from Turkey, 48 from Jordan, and 238 from Lebanon.
