MOCHA: In a humanitarian gesture, the UAE Armed Forces’ mobile hospital has rescued the life of a Yemeni boy who suffered serious shrapnel wounds and intestinal damage when a landmine, planted by the Iranian-backed Al Houthi militia, blew up near his house in Mocha district.
Even children in Yemen are not spared from the aggression and acts of terror committed by Al Houthi terrorists, who are Iran’s proxies.
Khalil Yaseen Ahmad stepped on the landmine while playing with his brothers near the family home in the Raiwais village of Mocha district along the Red Sea Coast.
The UAE Armed Forces medical team immediately swung into action to save the boy’s life, providing quick medical and humanitarian assistance.
The wounded child was taken to the Mocha hospital after receiving first aid. As the hospital is not equipped to treat such critical cases, the child was referred to the UAE Armed Forces’ mobile hospital where he immediately underwent a surgery that took more than two hours.
The Emirates News Agency (WAM) reporter was present when the medical team conducted the surgery after which the boy was airlifted to the UAE to complete his treatment and psychological rehabilitation.
The rescue operation is yet another valuable addition to the UAE’s proven humanitarian record in helping the people of Yemen to overcome the difficult circumstances they are experiencing as a result of the terrorist acts perpetuated by Al Houthi militia, which amount to crimes against humanity.
