David Nott is a British surgeon working for a charity taking care of Syrian war victims. One of his patients was Maram, a little baby-girl, who was gravely injured during an attack on Aleppo. Her parents and siblings had died. After the operation, the English doctor couldn't forget her and after someone had sent him photographs of Maram, he decided to follow up on the girl. Untypical for an experienced porfessional he is.
The story of David and Maram really moved me. I feel very sad as it made me realize how brutal war in Syria is and how many innocent victims die every day as a result. It is awesome that there are some good people like David, helping them. He is an example for others to follow.
