Minister of Social Development Ayman Mufleh decided to close down a private center for people with disabilities for three months, and transfer all its 28 beneficiaries to seven centers.

Closing down the center came after a request from the forensic medicine re-examination of a child who had previously been burned in the center, through a specialized medical committee, the ministry said Sunday in a statement.

It added that the medical committee’s report confirmed the child’s was exposed to a corrosive substance, thus the center didn’t take the hot water within the normal degree that the child’s body can tolerate, into account.

Mufleh referred the committee’s report from the forensic medicine to the Public Prosecutor, so that the case would remain presented before the judiciary.
