"Nothing makes sense, and you feel like a ghost. Once you’ve been there, you never really leave Aleppo...You feel powerless. You can’t stop it. There aren’t enough hands to
help, and you can’t save everyone. Should we give all of our blood
supplies to save one life? Or ration them to save five who all need
some? The choices are impossible, yet we make them."
--powerful essay by Attar called "Why I Go to Aleppo," The New York Times
