Israeli hospitals have cared for 1,320 Syrians wounded in civil war

Israeli hospitals have cared for 1,320 wounded Syrians, 150 children among them, the Knesset’s Special Committee for Child Welfare hears today.

The committee is discussing the urgent demand of several hospitals in Israel’s north that the state compensate them for the millions of shekels they have spent in caring for the Syrians, a net drain on the hospitals’ budgets, as the Syrians do not arrive with any insurance coverage the hospitals can access.
