Inside an Israeli Hospital that Treats Wounded Syrians
(BBC News) Tim Samuels - BBC Radio 4's Tim Samuels spent 24 hours in Ziv hospital in northern Israel where Israeli doctors tend to Syrians who have been smuggled over the border for life-saving treatment in a country with which Syria is technically still at war. Several thousand Syrians have been treated in Israel. In the children's ward, a mother who has brought her son for treatment describes how her trip to Israel must remain a secret - or she could be killed when they return. In the hospital - staffed by Jewish, Muslim and Druze medics - the doctors talk about the psychological toll of treating the war wounded.
