As Civil War Destroys His Country-Syrian Ambulance Driver Devotes His Time & Money To Saving Cats



As Civil War Destroys His Country, This Syrian Ambulance Driver Devotes His Time And Money To Saving


Ambulance driver Alaa is running a one-man charitable organization in the war-ravaged city of Aleppo by feeding cats that have been orphaned as a result of the conflict.

When he is not treating the human casualties of the war, Alaa helps around 150 stray cats in Masaken Hanano, a neigbourhood in Aleppo. He spends about $4 of his savings each day on meat to feed the pets.

exponentially worsens the problem.

Note- I've worked with feral cats in my community. Trapping, spaying, releasing.

No, I'm not saying he should stop feeding. Just wishing there was a "Vets Without Borders".
