Reports have surfaced alleging that Syrian government forces executed a brutal attack on a hospital amidst recent sectarian unrest in Suweida. Witness accounts reveal disturbing scenes at the National Hospital, where hospital staff claim that patients were murdered within their wards.
In the vicinity of the hospital, the car park is strewn with corpses, many wrapped in white plastic, revealing grotesque and decaying remains. Dr. Wissam Massoud, a neurosurgeon, described the scene as a massacre, detailing how soldiers entered the facility under the guise of restoring peace, only to kill countless patients of varied ages.
Dr. Massoud shared footage depicting the chilling aftermath, showcasing victims lying in bloodied sheets whose only crime was their minority status. Witnesses, including hospital staff and local residents, assert that the attacks specifically targeted the Druze community, leading to outcry over the blatant violation of medical sanctity.
The Syrian government’s heavy restriction on access to Suweida complicates efforts to verify claims, but reports estimate over 300 fatalities in the recent attack. The situation remains dire as Suweida endures heavy military presence and ongoing conflict. Amidst the chaos, stories of survival persist, like that of eight-year-old Hala al-Khatib, whose tragic injury represents the wider humanitarian crisis affecting civilians caught in the crossfire.
