Volunteers with MedGlobal prepare for a journey overseas to help people impacted by deadly earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.
"These young children have been through twelve years of war and now add to it an earthquake, especially in northern Syria. It's very devastating," Aduib said. "We want to talk to them, see how they're feeling and kind of change that mood a little bit.""Each one of those individuals is a person, a family member, a brother, a sister, a mother," Aduib said,
The medical team's concern is gaining access to areas that need help in the already war torn country of Syria. Volunteers with Doctors Without Borders entered northwestern Syria Sunday, bringing tents for families left homeless and winter kits to insulate the tents from the cold."The team of doctors are hoping to get in. That's the focus," Aduib said. "We have two hospitals in northern Syria that we have been managing for years now, so we're hoping to get in, replenish those hospitals with a lot of equipment that we took, and hopefully just help out however we can.
Now, the group, who left Sunday night, plans to stay in the earthquake-stricken area for about two weeks but they will return to rotate with other volunteers on the ground for as long as it takes.
