Doctors' hope is that rescue for Belma has not come too late
1993
Overview
[Belma Salaka], whose fourth birthday is next week, was among the first of the airlifted patients to leave the plane at Heathrow Airport. She was barely visible as a hydraulic lift carried her down to a waiting London ambulance. Eleven-year-old Edhem Dedovic, dressed in denim and wearing a patch over his eye, stood and waved for several minutes before getting into an ambulance. He was taken by ambulance to University College Hospital still unaware he had lost his left eye. The adult victims were mainly men suffering injuries including amputated libs, infected bones, serious fractures and shrapnel injuries. Several had eye injuries and one man with severe spinal injury was expected to be taken to Stoke Mandeville Hospital, Aylesbury.
