:01:23. > :01:28.first-hand how their life-saving work is giving hope to the most
:01:28. > :01:33.vulnerable. Those little fingers are so small!
:01:33. > :01:38.And witness the truth about the war's child casualties after a
:01:38. > :01:41.shocking attack on a school. I think there's been some kind of chemical
:01:41. > :01:45.attack. There are dozens of people who have been rushed in, covered in
:01:45. > :01:51.attack. There are dozens of people burns and some white powder, dust.

:02:25. > :02:31.the border with Turkey and the prospect of sanctuary.
:02:31. > :02:38.The gates are closed and the people here cannot travel the final few
:02:38. > :02:42.metres to safety. For two-and-a-half years, Syria has been at war and
:02:42. > :02:49.millions are on the move. Half of them are children. Approximately
:02:49. > :02:54.20,000 people here. Mostly women and children. It has just grown
:02:54. > :02:59.massively since the first time I came. These two British doctors are
:02:59. > :03:04.here with Hand in Hand for Syria - a UK charity which helped to set up

:03:29. > :03:41.started to have horrible nightmares. Some that scream, some that have
:03:41. > :03:47.gone mute. Are you all right? She has volunteered in war zones before,
:03:47. > :03:53.but none compare to Syria. I am sure, despite best efforts by their
:03:53. > :04:01.mums, they are filthy. Their hair is matted with dust and dirt.

:05:01. > :05:08.I have been reporting from Syria for two years. By travelling the
:05:08. > :05:10.doctors, I am hoping to see the humanitarian crisis through their

:05:23. > :05:27.Over two million people have left Syria, almost five million are
:05:27. > :05:35.refugees in their own country. That's nearly one-third of the
:05:35. > :05:39.population made homeless. You would normally expect to see a
:05:39. > :05:43.lot of big foreign charities working in places like this, but because the
:05:43. > :05:48.country has become so dangerous, very few of them dare to tread
:05:48. > :05:55.across the border, meaning people are desperate for any kind of aid or

:06:29. > :06:36.of brain injury. Oh, that is a nasty bump. Every day things happen - road
:06:36. > :06:41.traffic accidents happen. The last couple of years, t focus has been on
:06:41. > :06:46.trauma and war injuries that actually everything else has gotten
:06:46. > :06:51.forgotten. Now we find ourselves two-and-a-half years down the road,

:06:57. > :07:08.Some painkillers would be helpful. Can I get some IV paracetamol?
:07:08. > :07:14.No paracetamol? You don't have paracetamol? Had a tumble and a

:07:17. > :07:21.fall. If he was with me at Queen's not Queen's in Essex, it is a
:07:21. > :07:24.hospital in Aleppo Province. We cannot say where, because clinics

:07:41. > :07:48.There is a bit of a discussion about whether we can do that or not.
:07:48. > :07:53.Eventually a vehicle is found, but it is not so much an ambulance as a
:07:53. > :07:58.Transit Van. It is not the most comfortable way
:07:58. > :08:05.to go. It is a sponge mat on the bottom of an empty van. Who is
:08:05. > :08:09.travelling with him? One of the emergency nurses. I am giving him
:08:09. > :08:15.our trauma kit. Rola wants to assess what the clinics on the ground need.
:08:15. > :08:20.She has her first item. It seems we need an ambulance.

:08:32. > :08:37.The doctors are heading deeper into Syria, where the snoweds are --
:08:38. > :08:41.where the needs are greater, so too are the dangers. It is the first
:08:41. > :08:47.time Saleyha would have gone this far into the country.

:08:51. > :08:55.every night, sometimes every other night. A doctor said we are afraid

:09:04. > :09:08.very nature of being here is it is We are heading to the rebel-held
:09:08. > :09:12.parts of the north. There is a vehicle coming... An area I have
:09:12. > :09:17.reported from often in the past. It is a dangerous patchwork of
:09:17. > :09:21.territory that constantly changes hands. The Syrian Government says it
:09:21. > :09:24.is rooting out terrorists and foreign fighters. Bombing rebel
:09:24. > :09:27.bases. But its air campaign means foreign fighters. Bombing rebel
:09:27. > :09:40.civilian areas are heavily pounded. The doctors want to see what medical
:09:40. > :09:49.care is available for children closer to where the fighting is.
:09:49. > :09:55.What are you doing? Trying to handle this flipping thing!
:09:55. > :10:01.Right... I can't move! No, you can't move. You won't be able to move or
:10:01. > :10:06.breathe, but you will be safe! There are reports of fighting ahead
:10:06. > :10:11.and the team's security guards are worried.
:10:11. > :10:23.What did they say? They are concerned about safety at the
:10:23. > :10:26.location we're going to. Western journalists have been
:10:26. > :10:33.targeted in Syria, so I have to travel with my own security.
:10:33. > :10:39.The doctors are able to be more low-key and take their own vehicles.
:10:39. > :10:43.The war in Syria is now in its third year. Sectarian differences and
:10:43. > :10:46.extremism have taken hold on both sides and the conflict threatens the

:10:53. > :11:00.We are travelling around Syria, it has never been more dangerous, both
:11:00. > :11:03.foreign journalists and foreign aid worker have been targeted. We are
:11:03. > :11:08.going through a checkpoint now. Just worker have been targeted. We are
:11:09. > :11:12.put the camera down a bit. Rebel factions fight each other as well as
:11:12. > :11:16.the Government. Lawlessness prevails. In areas which were once
:11:16. > :11:27.safe can become dangerous almost overnight. This is the Islamic state
:11:27. > :11:31.of Iraq in Syria. It is affiliated with Al-Qaeda. Increasing numbers of
:11:31. > :11:35.Jihadies have come in, they are setting up checkpoints, so it means
:11:35. > :11:39.any foreigns, in particular travelling around the country, run
:11:39. > :11:45.the gauntlet of these checkpoints every few miles or so. And the worse
:11:45. > :11:50.thing about driving around is -- worst thing about driving around is
:11:50. > :11:55.you are never sure what lies around the next corner.
:11:55. > :12:00.The doctors have heard that the front-line clinic is short on
:12:00. > :12:06.paediatric supplies. I just wanted to get a sense of what is there -
:12:06. > :12:10.see what are they providing, what aren't they providing. No idea what
:12:10. > :12:16.we will see. We have been hearing a huge amount of shelling overnight
:12:16. > :12:21.from surrounding areas, so... As they get closer, it is clear the
:12:21. > :12:25.reports of fighting are accurate. What did the guy at the checkpoint
:12:25. > :12:30.say? The road we are meant to be taking has been closed off because C
:12:30. > :12:33.and T barrels have been dropped on it all morning. It has destroyed the
:12:33. > :12:39.route and it is closed off. And that it all morning. It has destroyed the
:12:39. > :12:44.was from this morning? From an hour ago. OK.
:12:44. > :12:49.We could have been on that road an hour ago.
:12:49. > :12:54.The route to the frontline goes through a town that's been
:12:54. > :12:55.consistently targeted by Government forces because rebel fighters have
:12:55. > :12:59.consistently targeted by Government used it as a base.
:12:59. > :13:04.We were hearing ohhen the local radio from -- we were hearing on the
:13:04. > :13:08.local radio that they can see a helicopter up in the sky. It has
:13:08. > :13:11.just dropped what, is frankly the largest bomb, creating the biggest
:13:11. > :13:18.explosion I have seen in two years of covering Syria.
:13:18. > :13:24.The barrel bomb was dropped from a helicopter. What it hit wasn't a
:13:24. > :13:30.rebel base at all, but the local courthouse.
:13:30. > :13:36.Media activists have filmed similar attacks on the town. In the centre
:13:36. > :13:42.of the screen, you can see one of these barrel bombs s tumbling to the
:13:42. > :14:02.ground, deadly and indiscriminate. It is not surprising so many have
:14:02. > :14:06.fled their homes. As our convoy arrives at the frontline clinic, a
:14:07. > :14:14.fighter jet was spotted overhead. We are told to take cover.
:14:14. > :14:18.There is a plane flying above us and I have been told to go and run and
:14:18. > :14:20.There is a plane flying above us and get under a tree. It is a little
:14:20. > :14:26.tiny tree. I can't see it. I can get under a tree. It is a little
:14:26. > :14:31.hear it. I can't see it. I'm very nervous. Everyone is agitated and we
:14:31. > :14:39.can see smoke from just down the road behind us. Get in and get the
:14:39. > :14:50.cars off the road and get out of here as soon as possible.
:14:50. > :14:55.This child recites the Koran for the doctors. His dad is a surgeon and
:14:55. > :14:58.with no school to go to, the eight-year-old spends his day
:14:58. > :15:08.watching casualties come through the door.
:15:08. > :15:14.I want to save people. This is the only place for miles around where
:15:14. > :15:21.sick children can get help. This is the paediatric supply of medication.
:15:21. > :15:27.20 odd bottles, similar to paracetamol along with a not very
:15:27. > :15:32.useful medication. It is not an antibiotic. It is not going to save
:15:32. > :15:38.a life basically. It is more a painkiller.
:15:38. > :15:41.It is not just medicine that is in short supply, there are a few
:15:41. > :15:47.willing to work here and those that are get little time off. They have
:15:47. > :15:51.all been on call for the last 18 are get little time off. They have
:15:51. > :15:58.days continuously. No rest. Living in the hospital. They can't go. Too
:15:58. > :16:01.many people arriving. Not enough of them.
:16:02. > :16:05.Four days later, we see the area being pounded by the Syrian Air
:16:05. > :16:24.Force. The clinic is overwhelmed with
:16:24. > :16:35.casualties. Rebel fighters wounded on the front-line.
:16:35. > :16:38.Supplies are so short that the medics were giving blood to keep
:16:38. > :16:58.their own patients alive. REPORTER: What's it like working in
:16:58. > :17:39.this hospital? Children are at the forefront of
:17:39. > :17:43.this conflict. They have sung and protested and even fought in the
:17:43. > :17:50.war. On both sides of the divide,
:17:50. > :17:58.children are becoming orphans and refugees. The next morning, we move
:17:58. > :18:03.to a village a few miles west of the front-line. It is home to hundreds
:18:03. > :18:11.of families who have been uprooted. This 11-year-old joins the scramble
:18:11. > :18:29.at the village well for beginedling -- dwindling resources.
:18:29. > :18:39.closed since the war began. Children used to come here to study, now they
:18:39. > :18:48.live here as displaced families make homes of classrooms. The charity's
:18:49. > :18:54.foot parcels are being delivered up the road from the well. She wants to
:18:54. > :19:34.hear what children and families have been going through.
:19:34. > :19:54.There are 50 people living in the school. Bravo. High five.
:19:54. > :19:57.This man is 85 years old and he has been left with nothing. His home has
:19:57. > :20:08.gone and his family dispersed and his health is deteriorating.
:20:09. > :20:16.He is just saying that their village was attacked three months ago and
:20:16. > :20:19.He is just saying that their village they had to leave with just the
:20:19. > :20:23.clothes on their backs. These are all their families. They were all
:20:23. > :20:27.moved en masse here. The old man can barely p see. He has
:20:28. > :20:29.diabetes because he hasn't been able to get his medicine since the war
:20:29. > :20:43.began. No school for two years. Nothing at
:20:43. > :20:47.all. No education whatsoever. Saying that they have had no immunisations
:20:47. > :20:51.also for two years. Now the village wants to re-open the
:20:51. > :20:56.school. They have been told they have got four days to leave. And
:20:56. > :20:58.where will all the people go that live here?
:20:58. > :21:08.where will all the people go that Don't know.
:21:08. > :21:16.Was quite -- I was quite blown away by the elderly gentleman's emotion.
:21:16. > :21:20.A food basket although it is better than nothing is such a drop in the
:21:20. > :21:24.ocean. It is not a home. It is not your health. It is not your
:21:24. > :21:45.medication that you need. It is not your dignity back, it is not your

:21:49. > :21:54.The guards are worried that if they stay anywhere too long they will
:21:54. > :22:01.become a target. The next stop is at a new Children's

:22:17. > :22:23.So the ward is running a little bit short because an an artillery shell.
:22:23. > :22:29.There was a loud bang. An artillery shell landed near the hospital. Our
:22:29. > :22:33.guards come in to tell us to leave. That sounded pretty close. It sounds
:22:33. > :22:38.like this went down very close to where we were distributing our food

:23:30. > :23:33.Yeah. It is not clear what the shell was aimed at, but the UN has accused
:23:33. > :23:35.Yeah. It is not clear what the shell the Government of systematically
:23:35. > :23:41.Yeah. It is not clear what the shell targeting hospitals and medics. The
:23:41. > :23:46.regime has denied this. It is so unheard of, unfortunately

:24:18. > :24:24.At night, the lights of Government controlled cities in the distance

:24:53. > :25:09.hospitality. They bake bread which is just
:25:09. > :25:11.delicious. But fear is never far from people's minds, sometimes when
:25:11. > :25:13.the electricity goes out, it is a sign that the regime forces are
:25:13. > :25:31.going to strike. My dad's family is from a very

:28:35. > :28:39.I dare any of them to come and spend one day in this camp to live. Just
:28:39. > :28:45.one day and see how they would like that.
:28:45. > :28:53.The bureaucracy of the international NGOs is incredible.

:29:09. > :29:16.up the road. The door of a dusty port a cabin opens on to a rare
:29:16. > :29:21.moment of ultraviolet brilliance. Hello little one.
:29:21. > :29:32.A hi-tech incubation unit funded by the charity. Those little fingers
:29:32. > :29:39.are so small. Ah, you are waking up. Oh, a big yawn and a big stretch.
:29:39. > :29:50.The stress and deprivation of war led to a huge rise in premature
:29:50. > :29:56.births. Before the hospital, we just had no way of dealing with them and
:29:56. > :30:02.a lot of them did die. I didn't think you want to eat that, darling.
:30:02. > :30:09.Little one. I don't think you should eat my glove. I think you should
:30:09. > :30:14.eat, you are hungry. You are hungry. Is that why you are so grumpy? She
:30:14. > :30:19.was born yesterday. It is amazing to see this from an inception of an
:30:19. > :30:25.was born yesterday. It is amazing to idea to the full birth of a Special
:30:25. > :30:30.Care Baby Unit. It is that glimmer of hope in what looks like an
:30:30. > :30:32.endless sea of despair and a bit that makes you think right, it is
:30:32. > :30:48.all worth it, you know, keep going. The doctors return to the hospital
:30:48. > :30:52.where their journey into Syria started. No one could have imagined
:30:52. > :30:55.how this day would end. Or the terrible events that would
:30:55. > :31:06.unfold. Don't hold the face so hard. Or the terrible events that would
:31:06. > :31:10.He is burned. A seven-month-old baby boy has been
:31:10. > :31:23.brought in with severe burns. No one is sure what happened. OK. This baby
:31:23. > :31:24.needs to be picked up. Are you the dad?
:31:24. > :31:32.Are you the father? You sit down and dad?
:31:32. > :31:38.you hold the baby. This is crazy. Half the kit we are
:31:38. > :31:44.not getting or we don't have access to. Everything is adult size.
:31:44. > :32:01.Here we have someone else. OK. Some kind of airstrike seems to have
:32:01. > :32:05.taken place. Most of the casualties are
:32:05. > :32:10.teenagers. They are saying a bomb has landed in their school
:32:10. > :32:15.playground. There is dozens of people who have just been rushed in.
:32:15. > :32:20.A couple who have been burned and white powder dust. Their clothes are
:32:20. > :32:23.hanging off them. It is only five days since the chemical attack in
:32:23. > :32:25.hanging off them. It is only five Damascus and everyone is terrified
:32:25. > :32:30.hanging off them. It is only five that there has just been another
:32:30. > :32:35.one. It is just chaos and carnage here.
:32:35. > :32:40.We have had a massive influx of what look like serious burns it seems
:32:40. > :32:44.We have had a massive influx of what like it must be some chemical
:32:44. > :32:48.weapon. I am not really sure. We don't know what we're dealing with.
:32:48. > :32:50.The doctor orders all casualties and anyone who touched the victims to be
:32:50. > :33:06.doused in water. The casualties just keep on coming
:33:06. > :33:10.in. The truth is they can't barely begin to cope inside here. There are
:33:10. > :33:13.a few beds which is why people are laid out on the floorment one thing
:33:13. > :33:18.that the camera will not tell you is the smell that's in the air. It is a
:33:18. > :33:23.sickening smell of burning flesh. It is a horrific scene. The staff are
:33:23. > :33:26.sickening smell of burning flesh. It handing these out. The fear is they
:33:26. > :33:36.don't know what happened and they fear it maybe a chemical attack.
:33:36. > :33:41.There were no shrapnel injuries or loss of blood, typical of most
:33:41. > :33:50.aerial bombs. It caused burns, consistent with an insendry device
:33:50. > :33:53.rather than a chemical weapon. This 13-year-old is in shock. He is
:33:53. > :33:57.one of the youngest victims to come in.
:33:57. > :34:13.The emergency ward is full. So he is told to wait in the corridor.
:34:13. > :34:27.Within minutes, the hospital is overwhelmed.
:34:27. > :34:39.It looks like he was 13 or 14. Just a kid. Where their emergency
:34:39. > :34:46.experience, the doctors take charge dealing with the most serious cases.
:34:46. > :34:54.Let me do that. Get an ID line in as soon as you can.
:34:54. > :35:08.Oh my goodness. The chest wall is rising. That's fine. OK. OK. OK.
:35:08. > :35:23.Has he had any painkillers? Morphine. OK. That's better than
:35:23. > :35:33.nothing. How are we doing for painkillers?
:35:33. > :35:38.I think there is more coming. I think there is more coming. As you
:35:38. > :35:59.can see, it is just chaos. He is already tubed. It is fine. It
:35:59. > :36:07.is supporting his airwaves. We can do first aid. We can provide any
:36:07. > :36:57.resuscitation required, but no specific treatment.
:36:57. > :37:14.I'm so bad, so bad! I know, but you are in the right place, OK?
:37:14. > :37:20.This 18-year-old had been sat in a maths class when the blast ripped
:37:20. > :37:41.through the window. I am improvising in ways I have
:37:41. > :37:46.never been forced to do because of lack of equipment. As you can see,
:37:46. > :37:52.there's nothing coming up on this foot for me to put this in.
:37:52. > :38:01.This is heartbreaking! Most of the people have got 70-90%
:38:01. > :38:08.burns, they will start to lose a lot of fluid. Some will start to have
:38:08. > :38:12.difficulty breathing. They will need Intensive Care therapy, which we
:38:12. > :38:16.cannot provide. They will have to go to Turkey and be referred on from
:38:16. > :38:24.there. They all need transfer. They are all
:38:24. > :38:27.50 and above. 54. He is 86. OK. So fine. First two ambulances
:38:27. > :39:06.are going. I thought it was just never going to
:39:06. > :39:10.end. We lost a gentleman on transfer to Bab-al-Hawa. I have never seen a
:39:10. > :39:14.burn that bad. I think his face is going to
:39:14. > :39:28.actually stay with me for quoit a long time -- quite a long time.
:39:28. > :39:33.Today, it was like something out of Armageddon. Out of all the war
:39:33. > :39:38.zonesvy been to, today -- zones I have been to, today has been the
:39:38. > :39:43.worst. The fact they were children, teenagers, the same ages as my
:39:43. > :39:47.nieces and nephews. I feel so angry right now.
:39:47. > :40:11.I feel so, so angry. The whole world has been watching us
:40:11. > :40:19.for two-and-a-half years. We feel like some sort of, not even a
:40:19. > :40:21.second-class citizen, like we just don't matter. Like all of these
:40:21. > :40:27.children and all of these people who don't matter. Like all of these
:40:27. > :40:32.are being killed and massacred - we don't matter. The whole world has
:40:32. > :40:39.failed our nation and it is innocent civilians who are paying the price.
:40:39. > :41:05.It is an absolute disgrace on the UN and all of humanity.
:41:06. > :41:15.Two days later, we reached the school.
:41:15. > :41:22.People say they saw a plane circling above.
:41:22. > :41:27.The headmaster is still too afraid to show his face.
:41:27. > :41:33.The smell at the scene and the debris suggests it was an incendiary
:41:33. > :41:37.bomb. Not a chemical weapon, but a
:41:37. > :41:40.conventional one. More than 100 countries have banned their use
:41:40. > :42:51.against civilians. But not Syria. to pick up his little is sister from
:42:51. > :42:53.school and this 14-year-old, who was in the playground when the bomb
:42:53. > :43:02.landed. Three of the ten children in the playground when the bomb
:43:02. > :43:06.who died. This 13-year-old was described as a
:43:06. > :43:11.hard-working student with a smiley face. He did survive. We found him a
:43:11. > :43:13.few weeks after the attack in hospital in Turkey, with 40%
:43:13. > :43:20.few weeks after the attack in to his body.
:43:20. > :43:28.18-year-old Siham was in her final year of school, one of the smartest
:43:29. > :43:31.in her class. She is also in Turkey for treatment,
:43:31. > :44:28.with 70% burns. The controversy over chemical
:44:28. > :44:35.weapons has died down. But the suffering doesn't stop. And the
:44:35. > :44:39.killing doesn't end. Rola and Saleyha have left Syria and
:44:39. > :44:44.are back at work in British hospitals. It is only the efforts of
:44:44. > :44:53.the few that brings any relief to a nation beset by despair.
:44:53. > :44:59.And to the millions of children here, who are alone and forgotten.
