Isa Abdur Rahman, from London, was volunteering with the British charity Hand in Hand for Syria (HIHS)
A British doctor who left his home, family and job in the UK to help civilians wounded by the conflict in Syria has died after the makeshift hospital he was working in was shelled.
Dr Isa Abdur Rahman, 26, was working as a volunteer in the north-western city of Idlib with the British charity Hand in Hand for Syria (HIHS) when the facility was attacked.
The charity blamed Syrian government forces for targeting the non-military site with the shelling, which also killed two civilians and wounded two others last Wednesday.
It said Rahman had put a promising medical career on hold to travel to Syria and "sacrificed his life to save the lives of others". The married doctor from London, reported to have previously worked at the Royal Free hospital in the capital, had been in the country for about a year treating non-combatants injured by shelling and air strikes.
