Editorial: Falling into oblivion
Published in The Egyptian Gazette on 05 - 06 - 2011

CAIRO - Amidst the political furore about prosecution of ousted president Hosni Mubarak and establishing a parliamentary system, the victims, who paid the price for rising up against a despotic regime, seem to have been pushed into the background.
The deadly clashes, led by the police against protesters in the early days of the January 25 revolution, left around 6,000 injured and 850 dead.
According to reports of a fact-finding committee, most of the injuries were in the head and eyes, which reflect the critical condition and the kind of special care these people deserve.
Although only a small number of these severe cases are receiving treatment in Germany, thanks to efforts of NGOs and the support from the German side, a substantial number of victims requires medical care and financial support for losing their jobs or becoming disabled.
Though much credit goes to these fine people for achieving what seemed far-fetched or impossible only some months ago, the society appears to pay little heed to their suffering.
At least the martyrs are being remembered, while the injured get ignored and neglected. They should receive gratitude and medical care from the Government and the society.
Prime Minister Essam Sharaf has mentioned the creation of a fund in connection with the Finance Ministry to finance medical treatment for those injured during the revolution and offer indemnity.
However, when it comes to such intense psychological and physical pain, help is needed right away.
