Leaving the Galilee Medical Center located 6 miles from the Syrian Border. It is an incredible facility with a level 1 trauma center. A large section of the hospital is located underground. It is here that you will find wounded Syrians who are take here from the border. We meet with one man who has been here for a month. He voices his gratitude. We pass by wards containing a number of Syrians lying in beds. Our guide explains that there is little contact with Syria. These people can make a call once a week for 5 minutes. Keeping them in the wards gives them a chance to socialize. With one another.

It should also be noted that the head of the hospital is an Israeli Arab. De. Masai Barhourn. He told us a story of growing up as part of a minority in Israel. When Dr Barhourn was young he spoke about a period in his life when he became frustrated by his situation. He was ready to quit his program. His father asked him whether this is his country. See Barhourn said yes. Then his father said: "then look forward and not backward". Dr. Barhourn went on to say thy he worked a thousand times harder than his Israeli counterparts and one day he got a call that he had been chosen to be the Director General of the hospital. So we went to a world class Israeli hospital headed by an A Christian Arab Israeli which cares for injured Syrians at a time when the world turns it back on these people. Pretty amazing!
