LEBANON, July 28 -- On July 27, local time, the 21st Chinese Peacekeeping Level-1+ Hospital to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) dispatched medical personnel to Kfar Shuba Village in southern Lebanon to conduct a medical tour and provide medical humanitarian assistance to impoverished patients in the area.
Located on Lebanon's border with Isral and Syria, the Kfar Shuba Village has been at the forefront of years of war. With weak medical conditions and harsh living conditions, the local people suffer greatly from conflicts and lack the access to receive effective medical treatment for injuries and illnesses. At the invitation by the civil affairs department of the UNIFIL, the Chinese peacekeeping medical contingent dispatched a team to provide door-to-door medical service.
It is reported that a total of seven patients were treated, and the target patients were those unable to seek medical treatment at local clinics due to poverty or mobility difficulties.
