Riz Khan - Palestinian Children's Relief Fund - 18 Sep 08

Riz Khan - Palestinian Children's Relief Fund - 18 Sep 08 - Part 1:

"Riz speaks with the founder of the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, Steve Sosebee, as well as one doctor who is volunteering his time and skills to help children in the US.

In any war it is usually the smallest victims who suffer the most, and this has been the case in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Hundreds of children have been physically and psychologically damaged by bombs, sniper fire and missile attacks, but often left without adequate medical treatment.

The Palestinian Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) was established in 1991 to address the medical and humanitarian crisis facing Palestinian youth.

Since then it has expanded to help suffering children in other Middle Eastern nations, improve the quality of medical care by sending in medical equipment and supplies into the West Bank and Gaza Strip and training Palestinian surgeons.

The PCRF currently has several sick or injured Arab children the Middle East, Europe and here in the US who are being treated for free."
