While his wife and two daughters lay under the rubble after Syria's earthquake, Abdelbaset Khalil tended to hundreds of patients who flooded into his hospital.
Khalil, a nurse anaesthetist, was already at work when the 7.8-magnitude earthquake rocked Türkiye and Syria last week, flattening entire neighborhoods and leaving a combined death toll of more than 35,000, including at least 3,581 in Syria.
