In Syria, survivors of the devastating earthquake live in fear, sleeping outside in sub-zero temperatures without safe drinking water. In an interview for BNT, Dr. Mohamed Alibrahim - a doctor from the Center for Emergency Medical Assistance in Sofia, says from Aleppo how cholera is spreading along with the hunger, fear and insecurity that have torn the country apart for 12 years now. According to him, the Syrian people have mobilized in these dire conditions to provide foodstuffs and blankets to the victims, but there is a shortage of doctors, nurses and paramedics.
