“Mohamed Zair sat in a neon-lit recovery ward, a thick bandage wrapped around his abdomen and a cast on his leg. A week earlier, in late January, he and a friend were severely wounded in a car crash. His friend, still unconscious, lay in a bed next to him as a doctor flashed a light into his pupils and checked his vitals. Car accidents had become alarmingly common, a grim side effect of life creeping back onto Syria’s streets after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s brutal regime, less than two months before I stepped into Aleppo University Hospital, where Zair and his friend were admitted, caught in the chaos of a country learning how to move again.” (07/10/25)
