The director of the office of the Rabiana municipality mayor, Youssef Hamdan, has reported that nine children died as a result of scorpion stings this year, despite the availability of anti-scorpion venom serums in the hospital.
In a statement, Hamdan attributed the causes of death to the lack of doctors inside the hospital, adding that the hospital has been closed for more than a year, and it lacks medical and paramedical staff.
He also indicated that there is no private clinic in the municipality, and that there is a single pharmacy whose work is limited to providing insulin medicine and first aid.
