Social Affairs Ministry says sexually assaulted child undergoes medical tests
      
A Syrian child, who was sexually assaulted in the southern region of Marjeyoun, is undergoing medical checkups and psychiatric evaluation, the Social Affairs Ministry said on Friday.       

“The Syrian child has been placed under the care of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) since Tuesday," the ministry said in a statement, adding that efforts are being exerted to help the child and his family overcome the ordeal.           

Caretaker Social Affairs Minister Wael Abou Faour telephoned caretaker Health Minister Ali Hassan Khalil who ordered the Marjeyoun state hospital to serve the victim and his family, the statement added.      

The Social Affairs Ministry has sent also a psychiatric and social support team in order to assess the condition of the child and his family.        

In this regard, Minister Abou Faour has contacted the concerned authorities, which have not yet confirmed that the suspect was HIV positive.
