Ten children from Gaza arrive in Slovenia for rehabilitation


LJUBLJANA, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- Ten wounded children from the Gaza Strip arrived in Slovenia on Sunday for treatment and psychosocial rehabilitation, confirmed the foundation of former Slovenian President Danilo Turk.

It is a group of ten children and adolescents from the Gaza Strip with serious injuries -- four of them have had their legs amputated, and two have had their arms amputated. The youngest of them is four years old, according to the post published on the website of Let Them Dream, the foundation of Danilo Turk.

They will be provided with intensive treatment and rehabilitation and will be given the necessary psychological help at the URI Soca institute in Ljubljana, where they are expected to stay for at least 42 days.

The rehabilitation project was launched at the beginning of September by the Foreign Ministry. As part of the project, financial aid will also be paid to almost a thousand of the most vulnerable displaced families in Gaza, the ministry said.
