One
morning an anesthesiologist named Majid was surprised to wake up to a big
explosion sounding like it was right beside his house. He rushed to the
hospital where he worked to realize that many patients had rushed in because of
itchy skin, burning eyes, and shortness of breath. Majid collected many things
including a bird, leaves, clothes, and urine samples to prove to the Syrian
American Medical Society that there were chemical attacks happening in Syria. It
took Syria a long time to get the word out about the chemical attacks but when
they finally did, the United Nations inspectors were wanting to help by
destroying Syria’s chemical stockpile to prevent anymore chemical attacks from
taking place. Chemical warfare was begging to become more popular in Syria
starting with small attacks accumulating into big attacks where many Syrians
are killed. The Syrian war got very dangerous to health officials because they
were targeting hospitals, medical personnel, and transports. This put 600
doctors in jail and 100 of them being killed. Syria’s health care is decreasing
rapidly leaving it in shambles so no one has access to hospitals. Many mothers
cant get their children vaccinated and patients with different diseases
struggle to get medication to cure the illnesses they may have. Secret
hospitals form to give outreach for the people who cant get medications but
then many people here about these and start bombarding the hospitals with their
illnesses from the chemical attacks.
In
the United States we could never imagine waking up to big explosions hitting
our country. We feeling like we are protected by everything so hearing that
Syria is having all of this trouble with nuclear weapons just seems unreal. In
the United States we can go to the hospital and get treated for anything no
matter what but because of these attacks in Syria on their hospitals making
then ineligible to get treated. It is a good idea to destroy the stockpile of
nuclear weapons that Syria is keeping in their country just to keep everyone
safe and at peace for the most part. Nuclear weapons can be a very dangerous
way to be fighting with a group of people or even another country. No matter
how mad or irritated someone is with another group, it should not lead into
nuclear destruction. Killing doctors is very unheard of in the United States
and surely in Syria also so when many of their doctors got murdered it was a
complete shock. Syria is smart to make secret hospitals so people can still get
the much-needed help that any person deserves.
