Mosul doctors struggle to save civilians on Iraq front line
MOSUL, Iraq — A crowd of men rushed through the narrow hallway of Mosul’s al-Zahra clinic carrying a slight 10-year-old boy. Yousef Oday’s face was covered in blood.
A team of doctors quickly gathered around his cot. “What happened to you?” one of the men asked.
“I have no idea. I was bleeding on one side,” the boy said. He didn’t make another sound, lying motionless as a doctor put an IV into his arm.
