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,” Dr. Visem Masoud, a neurosurgeon at the hospital 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 men.”
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 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 the country was aware of the reports of “shocking violations” by people wearing military fatigue in the country’s main Drews City Sweda.
Earlier this week, Syrian Minister Raid 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 heavily prohibited which means it has been difficult to collect the evidence of the first hand.
The city is under influence under siege with Syrian government forces, which is banned, which is allowed inside and outside.
We had to go through many posts to get us.
As we entered the city, we burnt shops and buildings, cars that were crushed to my tanks.
Suveda City clearly saw a serious fight between the drew fighters and the Badouin gunmen.
It was at the point that the Syrian government first intervened to implement and implement a ceasefire.
However, in Suveda province, many drew villages are under government forces, Suveda City, houses of more than 70,000 people, full drozen 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.
She does not know it, but both the parents of Hala are dead.
