English:
Amal, a disabled 28-year-old woman from Karabilah, Iraq, recently sought assistance from U.S. Marines in Al Qa'im near the Iraqi-Syrian border, for medical assistance to help her �to one day be able to walk again.� Amal lost both of her legs during combat operations conducted by Coalition Forces against insurgents last year in her hometown near the Iraq-Syria border. Marines here from the 3rd Civil Affairs Group - a U.S. military unit responsible for assisting Iraqi communities with rebuilding local government infrastructure, commerce and economies � are jumpstarting the lengthy process of finding more advanced medical aid for the woman by working with Iraqi doctors at provincial-level medical facilities where resources for military doctors conducted a medical evaluation of the woman for an updated prognosis of her condition. Here, Amal waits for the results of the evaluation with a family member. U.S. military doctors also evaluated two Iraqi children, a five-year-old boy and a four-year-old girl, with genetic diseases. �Once we establish what's wrong physically, we can engage with the Iraqi health system and government agencies to see if we can get help,� said Lt. Col. Larry L. White, the civil military operations center director for the Al Qa'im region.
