  • The desperate reality in Idlib's neo-natal unit after Syria earthquake | ITV NewsWhen a powerful earthquake hit northern Syria two months ago, it left devastating consequences for the already war-torn region. The hospitals, which had already been severely impacted by the ongoing conflict, were ill-equipped to handle the aftermath of the earthquake. Despite their best efforts, medical staff in Idlib are still struggling to provide the desperately needed care for the youngest victims of the earthquake.Emma Murphy and her team managed to make their way into Idlib after crossing the border between Turkey and Syria. There, they witnessed the heartbreaking scenes and heard the cries of the earthquake's youngest victims, while medical professionals fought against the odds to save lives. These babies are the untold casualties of the quake - born amidst death and destruction, but premature and fragile in a place torn apart by both man-made war and natural disaster.The situation in the hospitals is dire. Adequate equipment, medical services, devices, and drugs are all in short supply. The medical professionals are unsure of what steps to take to save the lives of these boys and girls who are fighting to survive.Dr. Ikram, whom Emma Murphy had met three years earlier when the hospital was being bombarded, expressed the overwhelming challenges they face. In the past, they were able to send the sickest children to Turkey for treatment, but even Turkey's medical system is now overwhelmed.The need for incubators far outweighs the availability. Every working incubator is already occupied, leaving no space to accommodate new cases. Tragically, the nurses often find themselves helpless as they lose the battle to save young lives. Despite their relentless efforts, many babies do not make it. The emotional toll on the medical staff is immeasurable as they witness young lives slipping away before their eyes.The article highlights the story of one particular baby boy who had a short-lived existence. Despite the doctors' best efforts, he passed away within an hour of being born, leaving his inconsolable mother to carry home his lifeless body. Such stories of loss and grief are far too common in this devastated region. Many children who did survive the earthquake are left with permanent disabilities or without any family left to support them.The article concludes with the mention of two-year-old Noor, whose fate remains uncertain. The doctors are unsure if they can save her arm, and she is unaware that her mother and sister have tragically perished.This devastating earthquake in Syria has further compounded the already dire situation in the region. Despite the tireless efforts of medical professionals, the lack of resources and overwhelming challenges make it an uphill battle to provide adequate care for the most vulnerable victims.
