Just nominated for Oscars are two documentaries set in Syrian hospitals whose staff bravely continued to work while under siege. Congrats to @waadalkateab @watts_edward @nevmab the team behind @forsamafilm and @FerasFayyad, director of The Cave for their important work.
@waadalkateab @watts_edward @NevMab @forsamafilm @FerasFayyad Waad, Hamza, Feras and Ed have been helpful to us during our investigations of attacks on healthcare in Syria - as have @P4HR and others. Hospitals continue to be attacked in Syria nytimes.com/2019/10/13/rea…
@waadalkateab @watts_edward @NevMab @forsamafilm @FerasFayyad @P4HR The #ForSama team has turned their success into action, campaigning for accountability at the U.N. and raising awareness at public events. More on the @ActionForSama account. #StopBombingHospitals.
@waadalkateab @watts_edward @NevMab @forsamafilm @FerasFayyad @P4HR @ActionForSama Absurdly, @FerasFayyad - already an accomplished filmmaker - was denied a visa by to return to the U.S. and support his film because he's Syrian. deadline.com/2020/01/the-ca…
@waadalkateab @watts_edward @NevMab @forsamafilm @FerasFayyad @P4HR @ActionForSama If you're interested in reading more on attacks on healthcare and other protected civilian sites in Syria, here's a long and detailed investigation our team published just two weeks ago into seven attacks, and the limitations of a new U.N. inquiry. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Also, these powerful interviews with medical professionals who were detained, interrogated and tortured in Syria because of their work. And with Dr. Amani Ballour, who ran The Cave hospital. Interviews by @carlottagall @JackEwingNYT & @karamshoumali

@carlottagall @JackEwingNYT @KaramShoumali Three of those medical workers were still fearful and wished to conceal their identities. They were part of an in-depth study about the targeting of healthcare workers in Syria by @P4HR. Fear of the Syrian government prevents many from returning home. nytimes.com/2019/12/04/wor…
