With limited capabilities, medical team in Syria’s Ain Issa prepares receiving wounded
AIN ISSA, Syria (North Press) – The medical and administrative team of Martyr Omar Aloush Hospital in the town of Ain Issa, north Raqqa, are preparing themselves to receive the wounded due to the shelling by the Turkish troops and its backed armed opposition groups on the town and the surroundings.
“Due to the indiscriminate shelling on Ain Issa, we received two civilians,” Hussein Suleiman, an administrator in the hospital, told North Press.
“There were people under rubble, but we could not help them due to the intensive Turkish bombing,” Suleiman added.
Since the beginning of December, the Martyr Omar Aloush Hospital has turned into a first aid hospital due to the intensive shelling and the severe shortage in the primary medical supplies, according to Suleiman.
The hospital has received 12 emergency cases so far, as it transfers the critical cases to Raqqa’s hospitals due to the intensive shelling.
Suleiman stated that the medical and nursing team provide the first aid according to the available capabilities including ambulances, nurses, doctors, and anesthesiologists to receive the wounded due to the shelling by the Turkish troops and the backed armed opposition groups.
The town of Ain Issa, the villages of Ma’lak, Musheirifa , and Jahbel on the M4 Highway, two kilometers east of Ain Issa, have been subjected to intense bombardment by the Turkish forces and the armed opposition groups since 03:00 a.m. on Friday.
