The Road from Damascus

Summary Five years ago, Khaled Naanaa was 25, recently married and working as a nurse in a major hospital in the Syrian city of Damascus. He and his wife Joumana were just starting their lives together. Then civil war broke out and changed everything. Khaled headed to the rebel-held town of Madaya and for three years treated victims of the fighting and violence. Then, when the town came under siege, he witnessed a profound atrocity - civilians including children being needlessly starved to death. What he did next caused a global outcry, and put him in the line of fire. Now, with the help of an Australian journalist, he has the chance of a new life with his wife and daughter in Australia.
