One of the challenges in Syria is getting medical help to the tens of thousands of people who have been injured in the fighting.
The situation has prompted a Syrian-Canadian surgeon to sneak into Syria from Turkey every few months to provide desperately needed medical care.
Dr Anas al-Kassem has also set up clandestine clinics there.
Al Jazeera’s Daniel Lak met him at his home in Oakville, Canada.
