Syria: Field Hospital Opens For Displaced People In Al-Hol Camp

Video Summary:

B-roll of a new field hospital in Al Hol camp in Syria. It is being set up to treat patients wounded in war or suffering from illness. Colleagues from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC), and the Norwegian Red Cross (NRC) are working together, to build, and set up the hospital from scratch. People living in the camp, will benefit greatly from this new facility. Omar, a ten-year-old boy, who was badly injured by mortar shelling during the hostilities in the area he fled from, has the kind of injury that could be treated in a hospital like this. The conditions in the camp are harsh. With summer approaching, the ICRC are very concerned about the soaring temperatures and what this means for the people living here.
