In northwest Syria, rescue after February's devastating earthquakes did not assure survival. Ambulances raced to a medical system in critical condition itself after 12 years of bombed hospitals and murdered doctors.
. Ambulances raced to a medical system in critical condition itself after 12 years of bombed hospitals and murdered doctors.
Bashar al-Assad responded to the uprising by leveling his country with artillery, chemical weapons and explosive barrels dropped from planes. Fourteen million people have lost their homes. Half a million are dead.. Samer Attar, an American doctor born to Syrian parents, has helped families in pain through the war and the aftermath of the quakes. He did 23 different surgeries his first day in Syria after the earthquakes.
"I remember a 22-year-old that got engaged the day before the earthquake, and the next day his whole family was gone," Attar said."I remember a 16-year-old who was paralyzed from the neck down, and her family was gone. And two orphaned teenage sisters, both with wounds in both legs requiring multiple surgeries. And a 4-year-old kid with a traumatic brain injury on a ventilator."Among the dead were three of 35-year-old Zainab Ali al-Najib's six children.
