Dr. Marc Siegel: Doctors in Syria are fighting an unwinnable battle against death -- They need our help

We doctors dedicate our lives to healing and saving the lives of others, but in war-ravaged Syria death is everywhere and anguished doctors are helpless to stem the slaughter, which has claimed an estimated 465,000 lives since fighting began in 2011.

I can only imagine the horrific conditions the Syrian people and the medical professionals working to save as many lives as possible must face. The American health-care system is far from perfect and faces many challenges, but nothing like the hell on Earth that is Syria today.

United Nations Undersecretary for Humanitarian Affairs Mark Lowcock appeared before the Security Council Wednesday and announced that there was still no ceasefire in Syria, despite a Security Council demand made Saturday for a 30-day halt to fighting covering the whole country.
