The First Batch on its Way to Fallujah

Today, I sent the first batch of emergency medical aid to Iraqi hospitals, it is going to Fallujah. I bought things for JD 1603.57 ( 1.000 USD = 0.708 JD )

The batch includes the Following (item and quantity):

(Saline Solutions)
Normal Saline...................25
Glucose Saline..................25
Dextrose Salina.................25
Ringer Solution.................12
Mannitol........................60

(Antibiotics, Post-surgery injections, and Burn Ointments)
Roxef injection.................5
Infla-Ban.......................2
Gentamed........................1
Flagyl infusion.................120
Claforan injection..............135
Flamzine........................20

(Miscellaneous)
Cotton..........................50
Syringes........................1000
Gloves..........................1000
Surgical Gloves.................100
Alcohol.........................120

My mother called the chief of deputy of the General Hospital of Fallujah, Dr. Salih Al-Issawi, and told him the batch is on its way to them, she did already send some personal small boxes of medicine earlier this month as I understand.

I sent the 18 small boxes of medicines with my friends Rana and Ra`ef. Rana is the same girl that was with Jo Wilding and Dave in the ambulance that got shot at in Fallujah last April. (you can find the story online)

Rana and Ra`ef left at midnight, I hope they will make it to the General Hospital of Fallujah before noon. If they couldn’t, my mother is waiting for them in Baghdad to take the Batch from them and send it by the help of other people.

Following are some pictures of the medicines, and of Rana and Ra’ef.

I hope nothing bad will happen to them.
