SYRIA'S ASSAULT ON MEDICS

Ben Taub’s   article vividly depicts the uncodioriable violence that the Syrian regime is inflicting on those who provide medical services in conflict areas (“The Shadows Doctors,” June 27^th]. Indeed since his article appeared, the regime has stepped up violent assaults on hospitals in Aleppo and elsewhere, including recently, pediatric hospitals. I learned about these experiences through interviews  with more than dozen doctor s supported  by The Syrian America medical society. The spoke about the terror of having to perform surgery  during a bombing, The need to conceal their work  detained by security forces, for fear of execution and the appalling  risks that the sick and the injured face when seeking aid. The doctors could understand the regime’s twisted motives for targeting them. What they could  not grasp, and what I cannot, either  is the failure Of the Obama Administrations  and its allies to take actions within their power to protect hospitals staff and patients from these assoults.
