"I’m a Doctor and it is My Duty" During the battle for #Mosul, many health workers became #victims of violence themselves, or saw their relatives, friends, or colleagues maimed or killed. Concetta Feo, an #MSF psychologist, organizes individual and group counseling sessions to provide psychological support to MSF’s Iraqi staff and train them to provide psychological first aid. "All of our Iraqi colleagues, medical or not, request mental health support," says Feo. "They say this is what they need most. They have all been through traumatic events, and medics in particular have been exposed first-hand to the horrors of the conflict. For months, or even years, they have been risking their own lives to save others. After an airstrike, the ambulance drivers and nurses are often first on the scene to pick up the injured, or dig in the rubble, fearing that among the victims they will find relatives, neighbors, or friends." Want to help these brave #doctors provide aid to those most in need?
