بَسْمَلَةُ طِفْلَةٌ فِلَسْطِينِيَّةٌ مِنْ طُولْكَرَمَ، وَعُمْرُهَا نَحْوُ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا. وَهِيَ مُصَابَةٌ بِمَرَضٍ نَادِرٍ يُؤَثِّرُ فِي الْأَعْصَابِ وَالْعَضَلَاتِ. وَقَضَتْ نَحْوَ عَامٍ فِي الْعِنَايَةِ الْمُرَكَّزَةِ. وَتَحْتَاجُ إِلَى عِلَاجٍ جِينِيٍّ تَبْلُغُ كُلْفَتُهُ نَحْوَ مِلْيُونَيْ دُولَارٍ وَأَرْبَعِمِئَةِ أَلْفٍ.
بَدَأَ وَالِدُهَا طَلَبَ الْمُسَاعَدَةِ قَبْلَ نَحْوِ عَامٍ، ثُمَّ جَمَعَ فِلَسْطِينِيُّونَ مِنْ مُدُنٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ الْمَالَ لِعِلَاجِهَا. وَقَدَّمَ بَعْضُهُمْ مَالًا أَوْ ذَهَبًا أَوْ سَيَّارَاتٍ، وَقَدَّمَ آخَرُونَ خُيُولًا. وَفِي أَيَّامٍ، جَمَعَتِ الْحَمْلَةُ نَحْوَ ثَمَانِيَةِ مَلَايِينَ شَيْكِلٍ، وَهُوَ مَبْلَغٌ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ كُلْفَةِ الْعِلَاجِ. وَوُضِعَتِ التَّبَرُّعَاتُ فِي صُنْدُوقٍ خَيْرِيٍّ تَابِعٍ لِلْمُحَافَظَةِ. وَلَمْ يُحَدَّدْ بَعْدُ مَكَانُ الْعِلَاجِ أَوْ مَوْعِدُهُ.

Palestinians Raise Money for a Child’s Treatment in Tulkarm
Basmala is a Palestinian child from Tulkarm, about thirteen months old. She has a rare illness that affects the nerves and muscles. She spent about a year in intensive care. She needs gene treatment that costs about 2.4 million dollars.
Her father began asking for help about a year ago, and then Palestinians from different cities raised money for her treatment. Some gave money, gold, or cars, while others gave horses. In a few days, the campaign raised about eight million shekels, a sum close to the cost of treatment. The donations were placed in a charitable fund run by the governorate. The place and date of treatment have not yet been decided.
