Watch: Aleppo doctor fights to keep people alive as airstrikes continue

In the mini-documentary below, a urologist turned general surgeon takes you through his week at an Aleppo hospital. He operates on traumatic patients both day and night and has a makeshift room in the back to sleep. In the video below, you will also see the medical staff evacuate patients after the hospital is bombed. The doctor and his staff see some relief only after there is a temporary ceasefire.
