I have treated the wounded under barrel bombs in Aleppo. I have operated in Syrian field hospitals where the floor shook with every explosion. And I have trained Ukrainian medics and doctors on how to protect themselves in case of chemical weapon attacks.

My deep condolences for the loss of Pope Francis. He was a beautiful human being and a great leader for justice, peace, and helping the most marginalized.
I remember when he traveled to Lesbos Island in Greece, at the peak of the refugee crisis in 2016, to show solidarity with the Syrian refugees
