The scars from conflict are both physical and mental. We are working to heal both. That's why, with our partners @swisscross.foundation, we
continue to provide treatment for wounds like burns and fractures for patients in #Sinjar #Iraq.

Thank you sharing Ahmad’s story and our journey.

Ahmad was just six months old when an RPG tore through his family’s home in Syria, setting fire to his cradle and leaving him with 60% burns and severely damaged limbs. Today, thanks to @SWISSCROSS he's finally learning to walk. bit.ly/41oim0y

Heart breaking to see little children suffering from injuries for years with no resources to get treated. This is why I love working with @SWISSCROSS . First official Swisscross visit to Mosul which is still suffering from post ISIS devastation
28 Feb 2023
Today we visited @MSF facility at Al Salam Hospital in Mosul, screening patients needing reconstructive surgery at the Swisscross complex care Centre in #Erbil.
Thank you @SarkhellR @sarmadnashat @sarezhhamawandy @Lass_Azad who spent 6 hours screening patients.

Just over two months ago @EnriqueSteiger operated on 7 year old Ahmed who was badly burned in a gas explosion. He lost much of the function in his hands. Today he is able to move his fingers and his scars are healing nicely.

For five years Salih has not been able to walk, after he was injured in a missile attack when he was five-years-old.
Today he is running.
