2 Disabled Palestinian Brothers Launch Cry for Help from Turkey

Ammar and Ibrahim Safadi, displaced from Syria's Yarmouk Camp, have not been reunited with their family for years. Both have gone disabled in separate accidents.

Two unaccompanied Palestinian brothers, one of them wheel-chaired and the other semi-paralyzed, have sounded distress signals over the abject situation they have been facing in Turkey.

Palestinian refugee Ammar Samadi said his brother Ibrahim can no longer stand on his own feet after he was hit in a traffic accident several years ago.

Ammar and Ibrahim Safadi, displaced from Syria's Yarmouk Camp, have not been reunited with their family for years. Both have gone disabled in separate accidents.

Ammar himself is currently held at a clinic in Istanbul after he fell from the house balcony on March 14. He has gone hemiplegic.

Ibrahim and Ammar have no other relatives in Turkey to watch over them. Ammar can no longer provide for himself or his brother.

Ammar also said treatment fees far outlive his cash-stripped budget.

Palestinian activists have appealed to the German Embassy and Palestinian Embassy in Turkey along with the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad, Conference of Palestinians in Turkey, the Turkish Association to Support Palestine (FIDAR), and the International Red Cross Committee to take serious and urgent action regarding the brothers’ cries for help and to work on reuniting them with their mother who has been in Germany for five years.
