00:05.870 --> 00:08.100
My name is Mohammed Maloof Bin Hamad .

00:08.150 --> 00:09.983
I'm the vice president of Matija

00:09.983 --> 00:12.094
Missing persons group here at Matilda

00:12.094 --> 00:16.010
Hospital . The topic of missing

00:16.010 --> 00:18.232
persons is a hard and complicated one .

00:18.232 --> 00:20.399
It needs a lot of effort . You have to

00:20.399 --> 00:22.660
work at it day and night .

00:23.780 --> 00:26.820
Why here at the hospital ? Well , due

00:26.820 --> 00:29.042
to certain events in Tripoli , we found

00:29.042 --> 00:31.264
so many people passing through here who

00:31.264 --> 00:33.098
were looking for their missing .

00:38.240 --> 00:41.570
The group's members are all

00:41.570 --> 00:43.903
voluntary . Some our computer engineers ,

00:43.903 --> 00:46.200
civil servants for social issues . The

00:46.200 --> 00:48.422
group consists of many different people

00:48.422 --> 00:49.422
from society .

00:54.620 --> 00:59.900
The

00:59.910 --> 01:02.100
tragedy of missing persons is quite a

01:02.100 --> 01:04.211
big problem for libyan families these

01:04.211 --> 01:06.660
days . Most families lose hope , but we

01:06.660 --> 01:08.716
tell them to keep their faith in God

01:08.716 --> 01:10.438
because such situations need a

01:10.438 --> 01:11.590
steadfast nerve .

01:11.610 --> 01:15.190
The

01:15.200 --> 01:17.200
abundance of missing person offices

01:17.200 --> 01:19.311
around is not a problem . Something .

01:19.311 --> 01:21.478
It is , but it isn't . It's a positive

01:21.478 --> 01:23.700
people everywhere can head to an office

01:23.700 --> 01:27.560
local to them . Yeah , I

01:27.570 --> 01:28.626
wouldn't be here .

01:34.340 --> 01:37.680
Key for the group is to visit other

01:37.680 --> 01:40.150
places outside Tripoli . Today was the

01:40.150 --> 01:42.094
first trip for research outside of

01:42.094 --> 01:44.730
Tripoli to Misrata . Misrata is known

01:44.730 --> 01:46.786
to have lost a massive number of its

01:46.786 --> 01:48.952
people . The key point is to join with

01:48.952 --> 01:51.470
missing people offices in Misrata .

01:52.740 --> 01:55.990
Uh , this work requires persistency .

01:56.000 --> 01:58.111
We will certainly continue . We won't

01:58.111 --> 02:00.180
stop . However , this work requires

02:00.180 --> 02:02.347
funding funding which is obtained from

02:02.347 --> 02:04.640
certain people . It comes from local

02:04.640 --> 02:06.730
people . From friends . Personal

02:06.730 --> 02:09.050
donations . Even from volunteers at the

02:09.050 --> 02:11.410
group . We have bazaars in partnership

02:11.410 --> 02:13.632
with other organizations . We thank God

02:13.632 --> 02:15.799
there is sufficient revenue from these

02:15.799 --> 02:18.132
activities to cover the group overheads .

02:21.540 --> 02:25.290
I would like to send this

02:25.290 --> 02:27.012
message to families of missing

02:27.012 --> 02:29.740
relatives . Do not lose hope . Keep

02:29.740 --> 02:31.907
looking . Go to all the missing person

02:31.907 --> 02:33.870
offices , including ours . We have

02:33.870 --> 02:36.037
helped 52 families find their martyred

02:36.037 --> 02:37.648
friends and family members .

02:37.648 --> 02:41.540
We put a pills on radio

02:41.540 --> 02:43.707
and TV for families to go and look for

02:43.707 --> 02:45.873
their missing , particularly at Matija

02:45.873 --> 02:48.100
Hospital . These officers exist and

02:48.100 --> 02:50.780
many other offices all over Libya . I

02:50.780 --> 02:52.724
would like to tell them to head to

02:52.724 --> 02:54.669
these offices and use them to help

02:54.669 --> 02:56.336
simplify the search for you .

03:00.640 --> 03:04.140
I feel so proud of this humanitarian

03:04.140 --> 03:06.307
work , which is offered to all libyans

03:06.307 --> 03:08.529
to help return their missing loved ones

03:08.529 --> 03:10.960
back to their family .
