Italian Red Cross president details Alvin's rescue

The necessary network has been created so that everything could go well and we achieved this remarkable outcome. The Red Cross and the Half Moon were coordinated in the field. We also made confirmation that the child could be in camp. When we officially learned his presence in the camp, we began our operation. The hardest part has been not to be taken by the director, he said the child was leaving the camp, as there are still radical times”, he said.

Rocca went on to say that even moving from al-Holl to the airport has been very difficult, since our liaisons were scared, even the guarantees he had of moving from one area to another.

I waited for it in Damascus. We had a lot of pressure and pressure to get the boy out safely, but Kurds have a different priority now, they manage a camp with 70 thousand people. Thanks to Kurdish volunteers it was possible for Alvin to be saved.

I was more impressed when Alvin was surprised to enter Damascus, he always looked around after being used in the camp. He was responding to everything that was new to him. There are three other orphan children in the camp at Alvin's age. Now other children can leave the camp” he said. / TCh/
