Syria: Assisting refugees with disabilities
Five year-old boy Noor suffers from paralysis in his right arm since he was born (Erb's palsy). The destruction of medical infrastructure, lack of access to basic services, as well as lack of medical equipment like orthopedic devices, are forcing Syrians to leave their country in search of support and help.
In Jordan’s Azraq camp, Handicap International helps Noor to get his mobility back thanks to physiotherapy sessions to strengthen his arm.
