Damascus, Oct 13: The Daily Mail, London on Saturday published horrific pictures of wounded people getting treatment on the floor of a hospital in Syria, and then transported in trucks because of lack of ambulance.
One heartrending picture showed a boy lying on the floor of a crowded hospital in Aleppo, Syria, his right leg heavily bandaged below the knee after surgeons have performed an emergency amputation.
His eyes, full of fear and pain, are fixed on the man taking his photograph, while surrounding him are discarded surgical instruments, other medical staff and desperately wounded civilians - and his severed right foot.
The boy was among scores of civilians treated on Saturday by overstretched staff at the blood-soaked Dar al Shifa Hospital, a seven-storey building that was itself extensively damaged by shelling two months ago.
The wounded boy lost part of his leg in a Syrian Army artillery shelling, and he was brought to doctors in the back of a flatbed truck with his badly injured father.
