3-year-old Aiman was rushed to the MSF supported General Rural Hospital of Dhi As Sufal district in Ibb governorate with severe burns for life-saving treatment. He was with his mother and brother on the way home when a water truck exploded and caught fire next to them. His brother had died in the accident and Aiman needed immediate surgery.

After Aiman’s surgery, MSF anaesthesiologist, Lenka Červeňová prepared him to leave the operating theatre to the IPD and explained: "Most cases admitted to our hospital are patients with burns. And sadly, the majority of them are kids. It usually happens playing too near to places with boiling water and cooking items or they play with dangerous items filled with petrol or gas. Most patients have to undergo an essential surgical procedure under anaesthesia to prevent infections and help the skin and tissues to heal". The anaesthesiologist from Slovakia sees many children in the OT with burn injuries.

In the poorer urban neighbourhoods families from different marginalised and disenfranchised communities and displaced families live cramped together, often with no proper kitchens, only with open fire cooking spaces. Children have not much space to play safely and easily burn or harm themselves.
