Syrian burn victims finally find help, some years after injury

Khaled, 10, receives treatment at AUBMC for burns.

This article was amended on Monday, April 18 2016

A previous version of this article erroneously stated that UNHCR sees around five new burn cases among Syrian refugees in Lebanon a week that require hospitalization. In fact, the rate is about five cases a month. The Daily Star regrets this error.

A version of this article appeared in the print edition of The Daily Star on April 16, 2016, on page 2.
