A new life begins in Italy, in Bologna, for Taman, 8, an Iraqi child without lower limbs, amputated due to a congenital disease and replaced by prostheses, and for his 11-month-old sister Tanya, for whom the same pathology.
Both landed in our country with their family after a long and treacherous journey that began in Iraq, with the hope of reaching Europe, only to suffer an exhausting stop in Belarus, suffering from hunger and cold on the border with Poland.
Unlike thousands of other migrants suspended in Belarusian limbo, at the gates of Europe, for Taman and his family there is a happy ending.
After landing in Fiumicino, thanks to the collaboration of the Italian Red Cross with the Minister Luigi Di Maio and all the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Emilia Romagna Region, the Red Cross Committee of Bologna and the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute, now father Sangar, 32, mother Kanar, 30, and their three children, Taman, Haryad and Tanya are in a warm house in Bologna.
Al Rizzoli Taman and his little sister will finally be able to receive the medical treatment they need.
