  13. Greetings citizens, we are Anonymous.
  14.  
  15. We bring you this message as a matter of life or death for over half a million people.
  16. A vital hospital in a war zone will be shut down in less than 3 weeks.
  17. We need to buy the hospital enough time until a large sponsor can pick it up.
  18.  
  19. As you may be aware the turmoil in the Middle East has significantly increased in the last few years. In Syria, over 100,000 people have been killed in the revolution that has engulfed the nation. The great majority of these deaths are civilian casualties caught in the middle of the fighting. Many have been deliberately slaughtered by rogue rebels, terrorists, or by the Assad regime's air raid campaigns on civilian populations as a form of collective punishment. Despite the many ways to die in Syria the most common is a direct result of the lack of medical attention and hospitals in many areas. What would be commonly a minor injury can very rapidly turn lethal.
  20.  
  21. To many outside the region the situation appears hopeless and it is hard to find an effective way to help but one hospital has stood out. According to the UK charity 'Hand in Hand for Syria', "the hospital is located just 30 km from Aleppo, one of the hardest-hit areas of Syria." "The hospital became famous when it was featured in the BBC Panorama programme Saving Syria’s Children in September 2013, linked here: ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLbBJBmhv5U ),after the hospital received casualties from a thermal-bomb attack on a local school where many innocent children, teachers, parents were severely hurt. Had the hospital not been there, dozens of school children would have perished from their wounds and infections from minor injuries as they do in other areas across Syria without hospitals.
  22.  
  23. We can't promise you that we can save everybody or provide aid to everyone throughout Syria. What we can tell you is that in the Aleppo area, Atareb hospital and all of it's heroic staff are trying their best to help as many people as they can. Day and night this hospital stands as a beacon of hope for over 500,000 people. According to the UK charity 'Hand in Hand for Syria',"When we first opened the hospital in May 2013, it was just a small A&E unit. We’ve grown it very successfully since then, and it now offers 68 beds and a wide range of services – from maternity and neo-natal facilities to many outpatient departments, three excellent operating theatres and a laboratory. It cares not only for those injured in the conflict but also non-conflict-related conditions such as cancer, heart disease, asthma and diabetes. It even has a dialysis unit. It provides FREE healthcare to anyone, regardless or political or faith affiliation."
  24.  
  25.  
  26. From 'Hand in Hand for Syria':
  27.  
  28. Why is it closing?
  29. The hospital’s funding comes from a European donor which supports global emergency response. This funding reaches Hand in Hand for Syria via an INGO partner. Although that funding is still very much in place, after one year our agreement with our INGO partner has come to an end – and the funding has to come through a partner.
  30.  
  31. Can’t we find another partner?
  32. Despite the tireless efforts of our trustees and medical team, we have not been able to secure a replacement partner for Atareb Hospital. Because of the very particular situation in Syria, there are difficulties and risks for INGOs when it comes to delivering services there — difficulties which we, as a smaller, independent aid agency, face to a far lesser extent, but which we understand and respect. Only the last-minute intervention of a new partner can save Atareb Hospital now, and we welcome all enquiries from any INGO who may wish to become a partner in the project.
  33.  
  34. What will the impact of closure be?
  35. One of the very few remaining kidney dialysis units left in northern Syria will shut. Essential and emergency maternity and neo-natal health services will no longer be available. Three excellent operating theatres will remain empty, instantly ending the 282 life-saving operations carried out there each month. 32,000 injured people a year will have no access to emergency care. 25,000 outpatient clinic appointments will be lost. The laboratory will close. Specialist departments including orthopaedics, ophthalmology, gynaecology, neurology, and many more will also shut. The hospital’s 98 staff will be left with no income, no longer able to support a further 400 family members between them."
  36.  
  37. In the last month 'Hand in Hand 4 Syria' has managed to recieve enough emergency funds to keep Atareb Hospital open for another 4 weeks. However it is still under threat of closure at the end of July 2014. The fate of over 500,000 people is in our hands; it is up to you and I to insure this hospital does not shut down. If it shuts down we can promise you many people will die from completely preventable deseases and treatable injuries.
  38.
