In the past four years over 2,000 seriously wounded Syrian citizens have been treated at Ziv Hospital in Safed.

Who are these Syrians, what traumas have they been through to reach Israel, what complex surgical procedures do they often need, and what’s it like to seek help from an “enemy state?”

Meet the incredible medical professionals saving Syrian lives to find out the answers.
