[Ramallah] On June 30, 2002, the raid on the Amaari refugee camp in Ramallah resulted in the serious injury of an 18-month-old baby girl, Munia Adel Rehan. In the waiting area of nearby Sheikh Zayed Trauma Hospital, her mother gave a statement about the incident. “Soldiers entered the house about 12 PM. They locked the family in a room and watched television in another room. Around 4 PM, the soldiers received orders to leave the house, and when they rushed to leave, they bumped her [Munia] off the stairway. She fell off the stairway, into the stairwell, three flights down. The soldiers left her there. They did not help her. “We went out after the soldiers to try to get the child to the hospital, and the soldiers refused, saying they had to search the rest of the camp first. We had to go around in back to call the ambulance, through the alleys. The ambulance came within 10 minutes, but the soldiers would not let it through for a half hour. We reached the hospital around 7 PM” The child’s head is bandaged and a laceration is visible right at the hairline, towards the top of the head. She has been x-rayed, and the family is waiting for results of a CT scan. She looks lethargic and sleepy, so doctors worry she may have sustained some brain injury. She has been moved to the Ramallah Hospital.
