Additional Information / Shotlist We are very worried that this hospital will be targeted at any time, because this is what we are starting to learn in other areas of South Syria during the last couple of weeks. This is really, really, really emotional. When you´re talking to people inside you´re listening to horrible stories. And when people are telling you how people are arriving in the hospital, sometimes they are sending you some voice messages.

One of the midwives working in a hospital was killed when she was with her daughters. She died. She was killed with one daughter and her other daughter is severely injured. So anytime, even for the team here, for us here, people sitting here… We used to work with this lady. We used to communicate. It was extremely hard. I remember one of my colleagues was telling me yesterday that I just want to see my little child.

We are really concerned about how civilians at least going to at least be able to receive their basic needs. And when I talk about basic needs I am talking about food, drinks… Somebody to take care of their health when someone is sick. You have tens of thousands of people on the border now. They have nothing. They are just under sky. They know that the endline for them is the border. They still believe there is a bit of hope when they are close to the border. And I really hope this area remains protected, so that at least the civilians can at least settle down a bit. Of course I have a lot of fears that this hospital might be targeted at anytime. To be honest, this is what we learned from this crisis, that nothing is safe. No health facility, or medical facility, hospital, primary healthcare clinic was safe.
