BBC / John DonisonThe Syrian government forces have been accused of a massacre in a hospital during communal clashes, which was exploded a week earlier.
The BBC has visited Suveda’s National Hospital, where employees claim that patients were killed inside the wards.
Warning: Description of violence in this story
The smell hit me before something else.
In the car park of the main hospital in Suveda city, dozens of decumping corpses are rolled into white plastic body bags.
Some elements are open, which reveal the bloated and severed remains of those killed here.
The bottom of my feet is smooth and slippery with blood.
In the scorching sun, the smell is heavy.
“It was a massacre,” a neurosurgeon at the hospital. Visem Masood, tells me.
“The soldiers came here saying that they want to bring peace, but they killed the score of patients, from very young to very old.”
Earlier this week, Dr. Masood sent me a video, in which he said that the government’s raid was immediately later.
In this, a woman shows you around the hospital. Dozens of dead patients on the ground in the wards have still been bundled in the sheets of their blood -soaked bed.
BBC / John DonisonHere everyone, doctors, nurses, volunteers say the same thing.
Last Wednesday evening, it was soldiers of the Syrian government who targeted the Drews religious community who came to the hospital and carried out the murders.
A volunteer case of the hospital Abu Motab said about the victims: “What is their crime? Just to be a minority in a democratic country?”
“They are criminals. They are demons. We don’t trust them,” Osama Malak, an English teacher in the city, told me outside the hospital gates.
“He shot an eight -year -old disabled boy in his head,” he said.
“According to international law, hospitals should be preserved. But they also attacked us in hospitals.
“He entered the hospital. He started shooting everyone. He shot the patients in his bed as he slept.”
All the parties of this struggle are accusing each other of torturing each other.
Along with Bedouin and Drews fighters, both the Syrian army have been accused of killing citizens and additional judicial killings.
There is no clear picture of what happened in the hospital yet. Here some people guess that more than 300 will die on the last Wednesday, but that figure cannot be verified.
On Tuesday night, the Syrian Defense Ministry said in a statement that it was known about the “shocking violations” reports by people wearing military fatigue in the city of Suvida, mainly in the city of Suvida.
Earlier this week, Syrian Minister Rayed Saleh told me that any allegations of atrocities committed by all parties would be thoroughly investigated for disaster management and emergency response.
Access to the city of Suweida is heavyly banned, which means that it is difficult to collect the evidence of the first hand.
The city is under influence under siege, restricting the Syrian government forces that are allowed inside and outside.
To go in, we had to go through several posts.
As we entered the city, we burnt shops and buildings, and cars were crushed by tanks.
Suveda City clearly saw a serious battle between the druz and the Bedouin fighters.
It was at the point that the Syrian government first intervened to implement and implement a ceasefire.
However, many drew villages in Suveda province are under government forces, cities, houses of more than 70,000 people, in the entire druz control.
Before we left the hospital, we found eight-year-old Hala al-Khatib sitting on a bench with our aunt.
Hala’s face is soaked in blood and banded. She appears to have lost one eye.
She tells us that the gunmen came and shot him in the head, she was hiding in a cupboard in her house.
Hala does not know this yet, but both her parents are dead.
