A young boy in the Maldives has died following a delay in medical treatment due to the Maldivian government's hesitance to authorize the use of Indian helicopters for his evacuation. Reports indicate that the child, whose age has been variously reported as 13 and 14, required urgent medical care that was not timely provided because of the government's reluctance to allow an Indian Dornier aircraft to airlift him. The Maldives President has been specifically mentioned in reports for denying the approval necessary for the medical evacuation.
