The French newspaper Le Monde devoted an article to the participation of Syrian doctors from the non-governmental organization SAMS - the Syrian American Medical Association - in relief operations in Ukraine, and indicated that the association donated medical equipment worth more than 100,000 dollars.
Under the title "From Aleppo to Kharkiv, Syrian doctors came to help their colleagues in Ukrainian hospitals using their experience in the war zones in Syria," writer Elaine Salon says that the Syrians are not satisfied with declaring their solidarity with the Ukrainian people, victims of the brutality of the Russian army, but some of them are trying to provide tangible support.
The writer quotes Dr. Muhammad Ghaleb Tinari, a 42-year-old radiologist from SAMS, as saying that the fact that the Syrians and Ukrainians are facing the same killer and the Russian army with the same strategy, is an additional motivation to help the Ukrainian people.
Doctor Tinari - who is from Idlib in northern Syria and sought refuge in France a year and a half ago - had just returned from a 4-day trip to the Brovary area, one of the suburbs of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, where he was transferred to a hospital in this area, a shipment of medical equipment worth 20 thousand dollars.
