"There were doctors who volunteered to help. They would
go to the mountains to attend to the injured during a clash.
The injured were removed to a village, where the doctor
attended him. Our injured were not taken to hospitals"®
The injured were not taken to hospitals, in order not to draw their
presence to the attention of the authorities.
"When Hasan Salameh was injured in his shoulder, we took
him to our village al-Muzer’a, where Doctor Hamdi al-Taji
was coming from Lydda and Ramleh to attend him, until
he got better".
"When Abu Kamal (’Abd al-Rahim Haj Mohammad) was
injured, I went to Dr. Fuad Da’das, a Christian and very
patriotic doctor. He used to live in Tulkarm, and used to
attend to rebels wounded wherever they were, at day and
at night. He used to say: let me die as a martyr like them.
He came and took care of Abu-Kamal’s wounds"
For critical injuries, where hospitalisation was required, men would be
sent to Lebanon or Syria.” The Northern region of Palestine sent almost
all injured to Syria or Lebanon, being close to their borders.
"If any one of us was injured, he would be taken to Syria or
Lebanon for medical care. I was taken to Lebanon when I
was injured in a battle".
Laws and Legislation
In the Summer of 1938 when some of the rebel leaders met in Ghassaneh
and decided to form the Bureau of the Arab Revolt in Palestine, they
decided at the same meeting to set up committees which would be
responsible for organising the administrative side of the revolt. Thus
four committees were formed: a committee for publications, a committee
for finance, a committee for public relations, and a legislative committee.
