Article summary: 

In a good initiative, the Coptic Evangelical Church of Qasr al-Dūbārah opened its gates for treating the young people wounded or suffering from asphyxiation due to the numerous tear gas canisters fired by the central anti-riot police against protesters in al-Tahrīr Square.

Article full text: 

"We've opened the church gates to help the wounded from al-Tahrīr Square. Our church even has become a warehouse for medical needs for the Square protesters," Pastor Sāmih Maurice said.

Dr. 'Abd Allāh Muhammad, a pharmacologist, who was one of the medical teams working at the church, said that the houses of God do not differentiate between Muslims and Christians, adding "we are standing hand in hand against corruption".

Dr. Lillian Subhī, a senior surgeon general at Qasr al-'Aynī Hospital, said that thousands have flocked to us for treatment and we dealt in different ways to heal the youths from the effect of tear gas.
