A group of medical teams have arrived in the war-torn city of Baniyas, Syria, on Wednesday, following days of intense violence between Syrian security forces and armed groups loyal to former President Bashar al-Assad. The medical teams from Idlib and Azaz towns arrived to assist at the Baniyas National Hospital, where more than 1,000 people have been killed and many others wounded in clashes. The medical teams labored tirelessly throughout the day, attending to the wounded and providing much-needed care to those who had been awaiting medical attention amidst the chaos. Amidst the turmoil, many residents were trapped in their homes, unable to navigate the violence to reach the hospital. Maryam Abdulkarim, a relieved mother, expressed gratitude for finally being able to access medical care for her child. The supporting medical teams have committed to remaining in Baniyas until at least Friday, extending their stay as necessary. Additional medical aid shipments are anticipated, providing critical relief to patients reliant on the city's only operational hospital. Shotlist: Baniyas, Syria - March 12, 2025: 1.
