The Wider Image: Syrias mobile amputee clinic
A young man with an amputated leg poses for a photograph standing by his broken artificial limb in the rebel-controlled area of Maaret al-Numan town in Idlib province, Syria March 20, 2016. Two university students forced to interrupt their studies have learnt to make and fit hundreds of new limbs in the past four years in opposition-held areas of Syria. A mobile clinic operating from a truck has gone some way to improve access to treatment. While most patients are between 15 and 45, the clinic also helps children and the elderly with replacement limbs. REUTERS/Khalil Ashawi SEARCH " SYRIA AMPUTEE" FOR THIS STORY.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful photo, we see the resilience and strength of a young man standing proudly next to his broken artificial limb in the war-torn rebel-controlled area of Maaret al-Numan town in Syria. The image captures the devastating aftermath of conflict and showcases the incredible work being done by two university students who have dedicated themselves to making and fitting new limbs for amputees. Forced to interrupt their studies due to the ongoing violence, these students have become skilled craftsmen, providing hope and mobility to hundreds of people over the past four years. Operating from a mobile clinic housed in a truck, they bring much-needed treatment closer to those affected by war. The impact of their work extends beyond just adults; they also assist children and elderly individuals with replacement limbs. This photograph serves as a reminder that amidst destruction and fear, there are still acts of compassion and healing taking place. The shattered artificial limb symbolizes not only physical damage but also represents lost dreams and aspirations. However, through creative use of resources, determination, and innovation, these brave individuals continue fighting against all odds. Photographer Khalil Ashawi's lens captures both the pain endured by those affected by conflict as well as their unwavering spirit. It is an image that demands attention while shedding light on one small part of Syria's larger humanitarian crisis.
