And today, more than 50 prominent doctors around the world have released a letter calling for full access for medical and humanitarian aid in Syria. Signatories include Democratic Republic of Congo’s Denis Mukwege, Harvard’s Atul Gawande, Médecins Sans Frontières’ Paul McMaster, as well as three Nobel Prize winners. They write: “As doctors and health professionals we urgently demand that medical colleagues in Syria be allowed and supported to treat patients, save lives and alleviate suffering without the fear of attacks or reprisals.”
