UAE group conducts 500 eye surgeries in Somalia

Abu Dhabi, May 20: An international team of ophthalmologists, sponsored by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Red Crescent Authority, have conducted eye surgeries for over 500 Somali patients



The RCA doctors conducted several complicated eye surgeries including eye lens implant on a total of 504 people with cataract and glaucoma.

Somalia's National Eye Center, a non-governmental facility dedicated to eradication of blindness, has said that lack of efforts to combat blindness as a result of the ongoing civil war could make more than 500,000 Somalis lose their sight.

The RCA also distributed medicines to 1,500 poor patients in Somalia. (IANS)

Good job by the UAE. Those who claim Somalis aren't helped, they will be satisfied if each is paid $1,000.

Where are the arab bashers?

Arabs are just a scapegoat bro, we know what they truly hate.

Al-Islam.....

arabs are not saints just because they give some eye surgieries in somalia


UAE is great country thou

Mashallah.

Everyone needs to remember that no one is obligated to help Somalia. Crying that Arabs don't help is an indication of a loser mentality.

Get your act together and you won't need assistance.

Britain is the second-biggest donor at $205 million, followed by Japan and Australia. Saudi Arabia is next at $60 million. It is the biggest donor from the Muslim world.

The article is about providing free eye surgeries. Britain didn't provide such free and vital surgeries. Besides, of the $205 million, only less than $5 million reached Somalis, while more than $190 million was pocketed by Western NGOs claiming to help Somalis.
