War is one hour away.

A young man fled Mosul as he didn't wanna take part to the hostilities. He arrived to the West Erbil Emergency Hospital, asked if he could help there in any ways and stay. This is his new home. His home was destroyed when a bomb fell through the roof. "I was driving. Suddenly I was up in the air and noticed that I don't have legs anymore."
