Since the war started in Syria nearly two years ago several independent organizations reported the use of medicine as a weapon by the Syrian authorities, killing of doctors and arresting patients who were admitted to the hospitals for treatment. In year 2012 the World Health Organization (WHO) found nearly 50% of hospitals are not functioning due to lack of staff, equipment and medicine. This report highlights how the doctors in Syria are creative and courageous to risk their own lives to save thousands of innocent lives.
自叙利亚战争大约两年前爆发以来,多个独立组织报告称叙利亚当局将药品用作武器,杀害医生,并逮捕前往医院接受治疗的患者。2012年,世界卫生组织(WHO)发现近50%的医院因缺乏工作人员、设备和药品而无法正常运转。这份报告凸显了叙利亚医生多么富有创造力且勇敢无畏,他们冒着生命危险拯救了成千上万无辜民众的生命。
