(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) HEAD OF THE HOSPITAL DR. JUMAA SARMADI, SAYING:
"The main reason for opening this hospital near the border, was to lessen the suffering of the injured Syrians, especially those found near the crossing points into Turkey. Otherwise the injured would have to wait many hours to be able to enter a hospital in Turkey."
