13 Years of War in Syria: Story of Saad

It has been 13 years since the war erupted in Syria.
More than 14 million Syrians have been forced to flee their homes in search of safety. More than 7.2 million Syrians remain internally displaced in their own country where 70 percent of the population is need of humanitarian assistance and 90 percent live below the poverty line.
Saad is a 23-year-old young Syrian man from Idlib’s Al Salihiya village. He is just one of millions of people whose lives have been deeply affected by the war that has been going on since 2011.
The brutal war deprived him of the most precious thing he had. In 2019, the village, where Saad was living as a young man, was bombed by aircrafts, and this caused him a severe wound that has made him blind with a serious head and throat injury.
For nearly nine months, Saad fought a battle against the death.
Saad regularly visits Médecins du Monde Türkiye’s Al Doaa clinic for the rest of his treatment, including taking anticonvulsant medication due to his exposure to seizures related to severe injuries and routine medical examinations necessary to monitor his stability of health situation.
