For him, there was no safe place in East Ghouta. Moreover Air strikes from the Syrian and Russian regimes are increasingly worrisome, already entering the fifth day. More than 400 souls are reported to be flying. "I managed to save some equipment and workshop tools. So, I can still repair the car anytime, "he said. In addition, Rafat claimed to often help to repair ambulances that strike the property of local humanitarian volunteers. "Sometimes bombs explode around where I work, I have to stop and hurry to help civil defense to save the victims of the ruins," papasnya.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights on Thursday (22/02/2018) reported, at least 403 people have been declared dead since the attack on Sunday (18/02/2018). Of these, 95 are children and nearly 2,120 people are injured.
According to Al Jazeera's report, the victims are expected to continue to grow. Given, the attacks not only targeting residents' homes but also medical buildings, including 13 medical facilities owned by Doctors Without Borders.
The sound of grief or cry for help is common in Ghouta. Especially, after the attacks are increasing by the Syrian regime with the help of Russia. Nevertheless, Rafat can only entertain himself and his friends. "The sight of a father and mother lamenting and crying for his dead son or a father who was carrying his son whose legs were broken. There were more people shouting and asking for help to save their families in the building. I am as free as I can to help them. Despite this terrible condition, I actually prefer to sit down and cry with them, "he concluded.
