Absolutely devastating news today about US marine and volunteer medic Pete Reed being killed in #Bakhmut. His ambulance was apparently hit by #Russian shelling as he evacuated civilians. Pete was one of the most remarkable humans I have ever met in my years on the road. #petereed 
2. I met Pete in Mosul in 2016. The Iraqi govt had banned civilian cars due to ISIS car bombs. NGOs were miles from the front. Injured civilians had nowhere to go. Pete set up in a house and got donated med equipment, treating soldiers and civilians alike. He was 27 years old.
3. Pete ended up offering triage to many Iraqi soldiers who had poor medivac facilities for troops, training many of them too. In one day on the front with him I saw him treat several children. Him and his team saved dozens, perhaps hundreds of lives.
