Marwan, a young Syrian boy, was on the operating table when the lights blinked and fizzed out.
"The nurse pulled her mobile phone from her pocket — generating the only light in the pitch-black basement. Others followed suit, producing just enough light to allow me to finish repairing his broken little body." — Dr. Hassan, operating in Aleppo, Syria .
Four years of brutal conflict have plunged Syria into a terrifying reality, making life-threatening situations like Marwan's increasingly frequent.
