A few days into our medical mission in northwest Syria, three weeks after the devastating Turkey-Syria earthquakes hit in February, we met a young boy named Hussein. No older than 4 years old, he was completely distraught, repeating over and over, “I want my father, I want my father,” all while his father stood right next to him, reassuring him. It was as if Hussein was in a trance — he couldn’t hear our questions or his father.
