Hospital in Darkoush, Syria overrun with casualties─── 13:28 Tue, 31 Mar 2015
Johannesburg - The South African-based humanitarian organisation, Gift of the Givers, says its hospital in Darkoush in Syria has been overrun with casualties following fives days of fighting.
The organisation's Imtiaz Sooliman says they have opened three additional theatres to cater for the huge influx of casualties from Idlib City.
He says some of the casualties were victims of chemical weapons.
Sooliman says a report by Physicians for Human Rights has documented the destruction of 189 medical facilities and the death of 660 medical personnel as a direct onslaught by Syrian government forces.
He says the head of the facility in Darkhoush, Ahmad Ghandour, has been arrested and escaped death just yesterday when he went to Idlib Hospital for a meeting and it was bombed just half an hour before he got there.
