Sky's special correspondent AlexCrawfordSky has gained rare access to the warzone that is northwest Syria, now also hit by devastating earthquakes
The doctor is obviously moved by the boy's spirit to live and how he's already defied the odds to come this far."Logically he should not have survived," he tells the Sky News team.
They've known no other life other than one lived in the shadow of war - and now a natural disaster has wiped out the entire family apart from this toddler.He's angry at the lack of help for children like Arsalan and tells us:"Are these children responsible for what Assad is doing? Are they responsible for the borders? Or the international community?
It is a life filled with armed checkpoints, constant battles between the armed stakeholders and shifting territorial claims and gains. "Perhaps we should thank Bashar al Assad more than the United Nations in this crisis," the admin manager of the Aquabat Hospital, Salahedin Abdulsalam tells us. "Many of these families live in tents and suffer from cold and many more are now living in tents because of the earthquakes so it affects an already bad situation."He takes us to another ward where he shows us the babies caught up in the earthquake.
She flails around as the nurse, who's also called Fatima, slowly presses the specialised milk they are feeding her, down the feeding tube which is inserted into her nostril and takes the sustenance straight to her stomach.She's blinking up at her nursing saviour. Eight times a day she's fed just 30ml of milk to try to keep her alive.
She, like so many here, blames the outside world for their lack of empathy, lack of care, and lack of action. Few ever help them. Here, it's each man, woman and child for themselves. The families are excessively tight-knit here - because family is important in their culture but also because all they have are each other.
In the end, she was begging them to cut her leg off so she could get out."I told them to please cut my leg," she tells us from her hospital bed,"I had to get out".
