    Mogadishu (HOL) - Seven of the most seriously injured people in Mogadishu's twin car bomb explosions were airlifted to the United Arab Emirates for further medical treatment.

    Minister of Health Dr. Ali Hajji said during the weekly Somali National Television program on Friday that the Somali government has taken a big responsibility to take every person who has a severe injury abroad, with the support of Somalia's friendly countries.

    "Mogadishu hospital submitted reports to the government of seriously injured people who need to be taken abroad for further treatment," he said.

    Dr. Ali Hajji stated that the National Emergency Committee began distributing funds for those injured and the families of those killed in the explosions on Friday.

    On November 3, the Turkish health ministry sent specialist doctors to Mogadishu to treat victims of a deadly terror attack, which claimed over 120 lives and wounded at least 330 after two car bomb explosions at the education ministry in Somalia's capital Mogadishu.

    Djibouti and the Ethiopian government also sent medical professionals to Mogadishu, answering the Somali President's call requesting doctors and surgeons from friendly countries to aid the terror attack victims.

    The deadly terror attack occurred at the same busy intersection where al-Shabab militants killed over 500 people five years earlier in a similar truck bomb attack.

    The Al Qaeda-linked militant insurgent group al Shabab has claimed responsibility for the attack.
