Translators’ Note – Trigger Warning:

The link contains distressing footage documenting the severe injuries and final moments of the child referred to by Dr. Tahrawi in his written testimony below.

His testimony follows:

Two years into this hell, and I have never seen anything like what I’m witnessing now.

These days bring the most devastating, heart-shattering injuries; wounds so severe you stand frozen, wondering if even God could save them.

We stood helpless, not knowing what to do. I felt this little girl’s final heartbeats with my hands, pulsing through torn flesh.

If images of torn and broken children are not enough to stop this madness, then what is?

I am ready to sacrifice my life for this cause. I will never stop struggling for my people. But how can I, when what we are facing is nothing but death and evil?

Seventeen hours into my exhausting shift, carrying the weight of unbearable stories; families escaping death in the north, only to face more death here, and others arriving with injuries that could not be treated there. I finally lay down to rest my back. But then came another airstrike.

Minutes later, the ambulances arrived with the wounded. Among them was this girl. I saw her heart stop beating, and I feel mine will stop soon.

My message to the world is simple: if we are left to burn in this hell alone, then humanity itself has already died. This world is no longer human.

And the silence that allowed all of this will haunt you forever.
