Doctor Mohamad Zitoun spent years treating casualties from the Syrian war but has never experienced anything like the number of injured and the scale of their injuries following Monday's devastating earthquakes that struck Türkiye and Syria.
"This is a huge calamity. I lived through shelling and survived massacres. This is totally different, terrifying and horrific," said the 34-year-old surgeon from Aleppo, who has worked round the clock since the earthquakes in a hospital in Bab al Hawa by Syria's border to Türkiye.
