Idlib, northwest Syria – Lying on his hospital bed in a room full of other patients, Mustafa Eid looks from the intravenous solution entering his body, seemingly counting the drops, to the people around him, each with a needle in their arm delivering the medicines hanging next to them.
Eid, from Ariha south of Idlib, is at the Haematology and Oncology Centre in Idlib, receiving his seventh dose of an advanced cancer treatment he is undergoing.
