The berlin based Aid Organization conduce treats people whove been injured or wounded in the war with socalled islamic state. They havent seen a doctor in three years imagine that and now they need some kind of medical care and it seems awful. Day work where others fear to tread right behind the front lines in villages that have just been liberated from i. A. S. Like. Air below is the capital of the autonomys region of kurdistan in Northern Iraq the local headquarters of kut whose is in the district of uncommon where a rented house serves as both office and accommodation. Final preparations for a mission are underway this was supposed to seal i know what can go wrong i know it can happen to the team which is one of the reasons why we have to work so closely with the military but this. Is the wrong expression its more like treating the violence with respect in a negative sense you got to. Divide so humans and. Shave bellman is responsible for the mission in iraq the former event manager has been in Northern Iraq for months she coordinates covers his work in the war zone has. Its roots i mean you know when you have a baby or to sit down together get organized and stop that and so on done fronts without. As high c. It is a surgeon in berlin hes taken two weeks leave for this mission the team aims to set up right behind the front line in a couple of days. Sometimes hiking all the diagnostic equipment into a single box so that everythings in the same place but the great includes devices for measuring blood glucose and Blood Pressure you can use so i sent an ultrasound device to cope with the windows open. Cut those is international the current crew is made up of two doctors a paramedic and a nurse. A. Canadian heather doll has often worked in crisis sounds i wanted to come and work in iraq because i have been working so far once a year going to haiti and doing medical clinics there and a few years ago there was a big tide in the philippines and i went as a relief worker with a nurse friend of mine and im the only create here here but. Everybody else is very young twentys i guess but im a grandmother and here to help as much as i can. Cutters was founded less than three years ago crews of volunteers change regularly they need a range of permits to operate in the war zone. Office manager preopen free takes care of that side of things and i guess the risk is always that things change that quickly so today or tomorrow morning when we leave they can save us the perimeter is fine its safe but go ahead there by the time we get there something matter change they might have retreated to the front line lot of hers. So i think the uncertainty of the situation is always the biggest danger but we do our best to try and sort of be informed and be mobile and be organized so that we can move back and forth as the situation changes the missions are agreed in coordination with the World Health Organization face bollman also has to coordinate with the iraqi army for security reasons. The destination for cultures this time is the region of how we judge outside the kurdish autonomy region cardew specializes in treating seriously wounded victims of war to get to the war zone the crew needs passes and special permits for both the kurdish and the iraqi territories. And survive living its requirements. That will definitely have to cost a lot of checkpoints and we have permits for all of them theyre all in our list. But the problem is things can change overnight. And double of clear days away some issues them up but it does and that can cause us to lace was this just for super. Filming is strictly prohibited and the checkpoints. Convoy leaves and heading toward mosul. From there it heads south toward. At the time of filming most of the area around the city was held by the i. A. S. Twelve hours later in the early evening the crew reaches the war zone the iraqi army only recount heard the villages in the area just a few days previously. The cutters crew is put up in a house requisition by the army the iraqi Army Medical Corps has already set up a makeshift Field Hospital next door. If you look. At it. Its he quipped with the bare minimum to treat the wounded this is where the cut to screw will work. The son who thought this surgery has five beds its going to. We basically use that to stabilize patients enough for them to make the journey to the merest hospital. Area was the scene of fierce fighting just a few days earlier i asked fighters had taken up positions on the roof of the building now iraqi Army Vehicles are advancing. A special u. S. Army unit is also operating within sight of the katters team officially they are there in an advisory capacity but their Armored Vehicles suggest otherwise exactly how many u. S. Soldiers are involved in the fight against i. A. S. Is kept secret. The responsible medical officer from the iraqi army is major Mohammad Hassan he decides where cutters can and cant go. Division all finish all the missions alive to the. Ok finish finish the bottle in years until now i think they can you exist. Nor have any information on your machine and your machine i think in a few next days beginning a new mission but you know no information on this mission. The offensive made faster progress than expected but without major casualties already attention is turning to how to help the civilian population in the liberated villages. Of condos is based in berlin it was founded by sebastian you know boxes are welded spare parts prepared and vehicles refit it some of the staff have known each other for years they used to organize Music Festivals now they want to save lives you know money is no stranger to International Aid work. It was a good thing if we never really liked the way the missions must set up all the working out my spear in the Aid Organizations i spent more than ten years old and eyes in festivals with people who were enthusiastic and fun to work with and then one day we had the idea of trying to translate this excellent cooperation into an eight context. Politics with thats unfolding. Because congress doesnt get any government funding all its staff are volunteers they want to save people from war and injustice in the world. Existence mentionable i think its important to help these people sort of happy to spend my time here. I do p. R. Work on that because i have no medical or Technical Training so i do what i can to make my contribution just as your tongue in my head its about supply. Found my way environ bollen tree in township that i can identify with have values of count as a humane value of. Things we should be able to take for granted that everybody can live in freedom and equality. You know personally takes part in the missions he has to raise money otherwise could not exist. So i live in photoshop for some of us its a full time job with no regular pagel the motivation comes from somewhere else i wish the projects were paid for by third parties so that we would not have to rely one hundred percent on donations because its a daily struggle that really takes it out of you. And i hope it continues to grow out of just us that nobody gets hurt in that we can carry out more projects just female which we have to push. Twice a week you know man works as a bouncer in a popular berlin nightclub its the only way he can earn a regular wage and keep his National Health insurance. Will know that it is a just cause when you found an organization like this you dont have enough money at the start of as you have to choose between spending donations on yourself putting them into projects or finding other sources of income that i can earn money at night and when i say i have to go away for a month to take part in emissions i accommodate that and then that that is you know just about and im grateful. To so also for you some day but the moment. You know man lives his life between the nightclub and the war zone. Its day three after the volunteers arrival in how. Its time to get to work surgeon material is up at the crack of dawn getting ready for the crews mission in a village that was liberated just a couple of days ago. Here for the fight. I just saw today going to little edge where the people probably havent seen a doctor in three is. This in are just the three of us until very recently it was all i. Territory thats now been liberated. You. Will see how the civilian population is doing it and try to help where we can know many a focus of patients but in this case they are natural the patients with this advice. To people need is primary medical ok i did my bit its. The convoy now including three iraqi Army Ambulances head south making a big detour to steer clear of territory still held by i. A. N. S. Dr heather dow is expecting to encounter a range of every day illnesses. Probably ceasing to hydration children and adults and then well see chronic medical conditions maybe some. Im going to do a small minor surgery procedure on a patient the male thanks so we are all pretty much all of the medications that we have for primary care as well as our emergency packs for if we have to treat anybody from the front line. When the war broke out many doctors fled. And theres simply no medicine left here. Now its up to congress to help although thats not what it was set up for according to the volunteers this is kind of all of them we think we can offer a Long Term Care here thats for the iraqi state to do of the world so what we can do here is just a drop in the ocean were not in a position to organize anything long term it was all of this event going on. This streets are badly damaged from the fighting. One of the iraqi ambulances runs into trouble one of its bumpers has come loose. Stopping is always risky there are improvised explosive devices almost everywhere. On the way into the village the volunteers encounter huge convoys of fighters including the notorious shia militias who are accused of committing war crimes its best to avoid them but the volunteers are not scared. Something might kill me mad and im sure some people to the thai still feel quite safe enough sanity cant and we havent had to put on a flak jackets and there havent been any Critical Situations everythings been calm so far. It takes the convoy around two hours to cover seventy kilometers finally it arrives in the village of sharia the army has selected what it deems a safe house. We always have to be on the lookout for booby traps everywhere because. I was like that as long as we stick to the very its we know have been used by others before us ok if on board and a lot of the gun. As the signs are clear. The cutters team has to hit the ground running because its not clear how long the army will stay here. The crew turns a former living room into a surgery. This is a virus is still what. That is doing is organizing things by class of medications so that we can access it quickly and hopefully be able to get medications for each of these examining beds. Within minutes of the cruise arrival people start coming in droves. One man brings his injured son saying he fell from a tree there is no telling how true that is. A full blown by the bomb we felt just built on that day while. The boy is suffering from pain. In in his legs and back. The doctors instructions are translated by tiger occurred from the air bill area. Mathias high sick examines the boy but without an x. Ray machine cant make a diagnosis his main point of pain seems to be in his there essex mind here its possible because he landed on his feet i have a compression fracture this vertebrae at that level for theres nothing one minute that is very well first or out. Of the doctors also suspect concussion all they can give them is pain killers and medical advice tiger can you explain that with the head injury takes a while for the brain to get better. Because of the fall off the country do you feel dizzy theyre actually able to do a Holiday Travel trouble or still do you know if youre. Getting close all of it as you travel with memory. As the day progresses more and more people arrive this old woman cant walk another collapses right in front of the doctors an elderly man complains of heart problems its hard to make a diagnosis as i still have successfully he says he has problems with his heart especially when stressed that suggests a cardiac insufficiency which is hard to treat long term in the situation of if it could be stress but its probably a chronic illness its hard to establish that in a brief conversation this winter that this young man has an infected abscess behind his ear known as an actor roma he needs to have it lanced otherwise he could get blood poisoning. Yet and its also why he had an infected after almost a high dizzier that we had to open up to the city in principle thats something we can do here and it would require an operating theatre in germany either we just need local sterilization but we cant tell how well the will be treated after. As for us normally we would remove the capsule we didnt do it in this case because it would have caused heavy bleeding there is also the risk is that it will come back and this is just all this is going to stir this up like. This oh this fourteen year old boy can hardly walk his means are deformed theres little the doctors here can do it so it really needs to see a right to tell it just what i specially if i used to have that it fits my therapist very well yet it looks good it would be a very it is a well this well its especially good as a liberal all the while they only call it. After five hours lines of patients still arent getting any shorter the doctors and medics work without a break until theyre at their limits. Or if you notice its just because we work as fast as possible because theres a long line and we dont have so much time its like a Conveyor Belt but we do try to take time for every patient thats. The condos mission in iraq began in mosul where you know man and his staff set up a mobile First Aid Center right behind the front lines on behalf of the World Health Organization. They turned a former car garage into an emergency room. While the iraqi Army Advanced on i asked positions in the old town civilians arrived around the clock many of them had shrapnel or gunshot wounds. Sebastian unum and spent several weeks here with his team trying to treat the many casualties. I think you. Could get a little bit of it if you will if. Thats up. In international jargon an emergency room like this is known as the t. S. P. His piece i call also because asian. And my t. S. P. Is a trauma stabilization point that means its not a hospital where we can perform surgery. We are right behind the front lines and we keep following along with the first port of call for the wounded civilians all combatants regardless of what side they belong to or. Where they just saved lives we want to stabilize the patient said if they can be transported to a proper hospital because law is no guilt. And the surgeon chef on ya is looking after an injured boy im here and its me for the second we dont know where theyre from is all of this its often like that here that civilians are brought in from somewhere and any old vehicle rather than an ambulance in this region i can leave it there and a quick look at this guy tells me that hes reasonably stable and his life is not in acute danger as mr ford lives could fit. The boy his upper body covered with inadequately trained burns arrived with another injured boy critical. With that if its right that were in the if a mortar rounds landed near him a couple of days ago and he sustained these wounds it will be. Ok. Sure. You will take off the bandages they will by. Fifteen year old our boss was at home when the shells hit the doctors want to know where his parents are. Getting all the way and then they were separate from that that until i was on our local. How well. You know. Its all of your nothing they all did ok. The second boy has a bullet wound in the face but hes alive so i thought well. I think its him and a lot of. The doctors dont know. The boys have any family left. Then it will midnight and there are accompanied their parents are dead according to the boy as for us that means we dont just treat their worlds we have to inform the un that we have unaccompanied minors here. Because the un has a special protocol for this situation here is the check and i dont mean for global war. The boys will probably end up in a un refugee camp for the time being. Hello how do you set up a t. S. P. In the old town of mosul where the iraqi army met resistance from the remaining pockets of all u. S. Fighters many of the civilians brought here had been used as human shields anyone who tried to escape was shot. But its really if youre. Not going oxford yesterday we had to pay people who had been shot trying to escape and there ones were so bad that they died but most of the civilians are just to the limits of the human insurance theyve been besieged for months some of them of the families of violence fighters wives children who havent had anything proper to eat for weeks but the day hydrated its forty five degrees in the shade here during the day theyre wearing head jobs dressed in black in that heat and theyre totally hydrated and i have circulation problems difficult as were talking im going to see for myself. Ive cut those has been working in mosul for nearly two months to good effect theyve saved many lives. And thats all seals but also the bill theres no Emergency Service here with trying to paramedics that means theres no proper treatment available until someone reaches a hospital and many of them have been bombed here in the city so it can take a long time to get to a hospital that got there so theres no downs without the forty s. Piece here in the us and three other organizations hundreds more would have died. Had this awful not to hold him and you. Guns have been silent in mosul for months now but ninety percent of the city is in ruins. The w h os latest mission for cutters is behind the front line up. In contrast to mosul there are no badly wounded people in the rural region of how we judge. Them so conduce turned its attention to the villagers who receive little or no care otherwise. The crew has a few toys for the children who are brought here. These children havent seen a doctor for more than three years time and again they had to flee the fighting with their parents many have been traumatized by the ongoing violence and constant fear. As it heads is that cause it to be honest i have the impression that the children are confused understandably. I think it will take a while for them to realize whats going on. Over. The next challenges now for example probably didnt really know what to do with the toys and thats perfectly normal in a cyclist ounces at least the parents are happy with. This for security reasons there are always soldiers in the surgery to look for the hygiene in the village is problematic this man has a skin rash and is itching all over. There still to wash off the water so to wash with all of us all told all of us were all that decision to give you that a particular body has paid it so beaching is because of the water if youve got it yeah youre good at something but it needs so pretty its. A good quarter of the year although this is well if you just want it there i love it with you. That i can do it with your search. Needs good water i thought suddenly a young man is brought in needing urgent help. To secure a shelter that. He has a gaping head wound and has already lost a lot of blood so theres a lot of us are in this reality. Allegedly he jumped in a river were not told why he wont say anything himself its not an extra i just hes one syringe full and then give it back to you yeah just got it all right said ouch the circumstances of the young mans injuries remain unclear what we do know is that he was brought in by iraqi soldiers it would not be the first time that iraqi troops have maltreated a civilian. Oil followed any team fall guy goes for the iraqi army and you know maybe this date because he stole his day and much of the they may be because hes a tough. Guy that nobody knows who will take over when conduce leaves the troops are being withdrawn and the crew has to go with them or theyd have no protection ive. Put up with that you could leaving in five minutes after that the army will be gone maybe im just saying this was this was you know that the volunteers worked for almost six hours here without a break theres no telling how many patients they treated altogether. If they shouted out i think thats about how i feel straggly but some might say i have no idea how many patients we treat it could have easily been one hundred i thought it was a health issue for a lot of caution we worked for hours with no break barely any food or water lots of pace of. The volunteers came expecting to treat trauma patients but the people treated today really need long term medical care theres no hope of that without a local doctor. That if well as you saw a taste of the head trauma is exciting right now. Flooding tides and things like i say and it is a Trauma Service catastrophic service so this was difficult i think for the guys that were here today because they came expecting to do trauma work and its primary care that weve been doing its not very sexy it is very necessary for the General Health of the population so. I dont blame them their own young they all gravitated to the you know the sexy thing but the thing is were here to see the rest of the people because we have to see. So much good. In this mission is scheduled to continue for about two weeks then the w. H. O. Will decide where conduce goes next but theres no shortage of places that need.
