A humanitarian appeal has been launched to fund six months of physiotherapy for a nearly 70-year-old Bahraini man left paralysed following a spinal cord injury.

Northern Municipal Council member Abdulla Mubarak Al Qobaisi is calling on authorities and benefactors to cover the estimated BD3,000 treatment cost, warning that the patient's financial hardship has forced him to halt specialist-recommended sessions.

The retired citizen, currently receiving care at a Health Ministry hospital, relies on a pension that fails to meet his basic needs or existing debts.

While some donors have already helped adapt his home with a suitable room and bathroom, further assistance is still needed for treatment costs and essential household items.

Al Qobaisi said the appeal reflects the council's duty to voice citizens' needs and urged those able to help to act quickly.
