Batul was a beautiful 5 year old girl, but suffering from severe malnutrition. Her family had taken her to the clinic for treatment, but could not afford to stay there, so after 1 day they were obliged to return home, where she would surely die.
Ahmad met Batul at the clinic whist he was trying to help another little baby called Mohammad. Once Ahmad had done everything he could to help Mohammad, he raised the funds to help Batul get the treatment she needed as well.
This is Batol, she is 5 years old, weighs 5 Kilos, should weigh 20 kilos. Family could not afford 1 day at clinic so took her home #Yemen pic.twitter.com/BvK73aIehq

We now have $325 alhamdulillah. Someone in Ahmad’s family sold her ring to raise an extra $50 for Batol. #Yemen-i people sacrificing more.
