Bahaa
Bahaa is a dedicated surgeon working at the Sweida National Hospital in southern Syria, where he has been thrust into a harrowing situation amid escalating violence. Over a period of four days, he treated countless patients suffering from severe injuries due to gunfire and shrapnel as clashes between Druze fighters and government forces resulted in a staggering number of casualties. Operating under a pseudonym for fear of retribution, Bahaa described the heartbreaking scenes of death and destruction, as the hospital became overwhelmed with the influx of wounded and deceased individuals, many of whom he recognized personally. His commitment to saving lives amidst dire conditions highlights the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Syria.
