Chicago-based health care workers who rushed to Turkey and Syria after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Turkey and Syria.
MedGlobal doctors provide earthquake relief in northern Syria and Turkey, the work was with the mobile clinic in the Killy shelter center north of Idlib in Syria, on Feb. 27, 2023. The mobile clinic provided free medical services, psychological first aid, and detection and follow-up of malnutrition cases for 100 earthquake survivors in the center.
just as others had been found amid the aftermath of the earthquakes and aftershocks. But, Kabbany said, “every day, our hopes got less and less.
“People who were impacted by the earthquake were about 23 million people. About 200,000 buildings were completely destroyed between Turkey and Syria,” he said. “Two million people are displaced in Turkey, 300,000 people are displaced in Syria. More than 200,000 people are injured. So, these are huge numbers, but unless you go and talk to people and hear the stories, you cannot put things together. You cannot wrap your mind around these numbers.
While in Syria, he met Hasan, the 4-year-old boy, when he was brought to MedGlobal’s hospital in Darkush. He and his family were from Salqin, where MedGlobal physicians Dr. Zaher Sahloul and Dr. Nahreen Ahmed observe the earthquake's destruction in Jinderes, Syria, on Feb 23, 2023. “When we went to these cities, I mean you have block after block of completely demolished buildings,” Sahloul said. “You see only small pieces of stone, but then you see signs of lives. You see homework, books, pillows, coloring books, toys, blankets, but it’s like you’re going through an apocalyptic scene. It’s completely deserted, but you see the signs of lives that were once there. It’s beyond description.
Sahloul is originally from Syria and came to Chicago to further his medical training in 1989. He still has family living in Syria. His parents live in Homs, a little over 150 miles from the Turkish border. Sahloul said he was on call at Advocate Christ when he started hearing about the first earthquake and then called his mom, who told him she felt the whole room shaking for about 90 seconds and didn’t know what to do.
Ahmad, an emergency medicine doctor who was born and raised in Chicago, said that after speaking to people during the medical mission, it was clear that “this tragedy did not leave anybody unscathed.”
