Testimonies of MSF staff in Iran

Tehran

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,294
Some of my friends
have reached the brink

2
00:00:03,294 --> 00:00:07,966
of psychological collapse
due to the intensity of fear.

3
00:00:07,966 --> 00:00:10,969
Financial difficulties
are worsening and

4
00:00:10,969 --> 00:00:14,723
the uncertainty
of the future is unsettling.

5
00:00:15,098 --> 00:00:18,184
Internet issues
and societal fear

6
00:00:18,184 --> 00:00:21,271
have caused significant
loss of life,

7
00:00:21,271 --> 00:00:22,939
families and jobs.

8
00:00:22,939 --> 00:00:27,902
The spread of misinformation has
further exacerbated the situation.

9
00:00:28,528 --> 00:00:31,823
I am disheartened
as I am unable

10
00:00:31,823 --> 00:00:35,160
to attend work and
must remain at home.

11
00:00:35,243 --> 00:00:38,288
I am concerned about
my colleagues and patients

12
00:00:38,288 --> 00:00:42,584
as I am uncertain about
their current circumstances,

13
00:00:42,584 --> 00:00:45,628
especially since our clinic
has been thriving,

14
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:48,048
this interruption
is concerning.

15
00:00:48,423 --> 00:00:51,384
I sincerely hope that
individuals can resume

16
00:00:51,384 --> 00:00:54,471
their work responsibility
at the earliest possible moment

17
00:00:54,512 --> 00:00:59,476
as engaging with others
who share similar sentiments

18
00:00:59,476 --> 00:01:03,855
can provide a sense of
optimism and encouragement.

19
00:01:05,231 --> 00:01:08,943
Since the conflict began,
the rhythm of my daily life

20
00:01:08,943 --> 00:01:11,071
has shifted significantly.

21
00:01:11,071 --> 00:01:14,365
I no longer go to work
on a regular basis,

22
00:01:14,365 --> 00:01:17,744
and my children spend
most of their time at home

23
00:01:17,744 --> 00:01:19,704
due to safety concerns.

24
00:01:19,704 --> 00:01:22,665
A major part of
my routine now

25
00:01:22,665 --> 00:01:25,251
involves checking in
with members

26
00:01:25,251 --> 00:01:29,089
of my extended family
and friends after every attack,

27
00:01:29,089 --> 00:01:31,216
to make sure they are safe.

28
00:01:32,050 --> 00:01:34,427
I am grateful that none
of my family members

29
00:01:34,427 --> 00:01:38,598
or close friends have been
physically harmed.

30
00:01:39,224 --> 00:01:42,185
However, the psychological
impact on all of us

31
00:01:42,185 --> 00:01:44,562
is unmistakable.
