Operating under the gun, doctors were threatened by drugged militants, forced to treat fighters, even kidnapped to treat a warlord’s mother. With other first responders, they protected identities, changed names, stole fuel to keep hospitals and clinics running, they even sedated fighters to prevent a bloodbath. Silent guardian angels, they cheated death, for the sake of life.
تحت تهديد السلاح، الأطباء كانوا مهدّدين من قبل مسلّحين مَخدّرين، ومفروض عليهن يطبّبوا مقاتلين، أو حتّى انخطفوا ليعالِجوا أمّ زعيم حرب. هنّي ومُسعفين غيرهن، خبّوا الهويات، وغيّروا أسامي، وسرقوا بنزين ليخلّوا المستشفيات والمراكز شغّالة، وحتّى خدّروا مقاتلين ليمنعوا مجزرة. كانوا ملاك حارس بصمت، وخدعوا الموت ليحافظوا على الحياة
