English: A four-year-old Iraqi girl, Teba, sits on her father's lap at a U.S. military camp in Al Qa'im, Iraq, a town near the Iraqi-Syrian border May 7, 2006. Teba was one of three Iraqis who sought medical assistance from the Marines of the 3rd Civil Affairs Group - a U.S. military unit responsible for assisting Iraqi communities with rebuilding local government infrastructure, commerce and economies. The other two disabled Iraqis who sought assistance from the Marines recently was a 28-year-old woman missing both of her legs and a seven-year-old boy with cerebral palsy. All three showed up to the Civil Military Operations Center in Al Qa'im, where U.S. Navy doctors gave them a medical evaluation to determine a prognosis of their medical conditions. The Marines say they are jumpstarting the lengthy process of finding more advanced medical aid for the woman by working with Iraqi doctors at provincial-level medical facilities where resources for military doctors conducted a medical evaluation of the woman for an updated prognosis of her condition. �Once we establish what's wrong physically, we can engage with the Iraqi health system and government agencies to see if we can get help,� said Lt. Col. Larry L. White, the civil military operations center director for the Al Qa'im region.
