When saving lives becomes routine, death is no longer a stranger. First responders face unclaimed bodies, mass graves, and makeshift morgues – negotiating prisoner exchanges, testing the limits of international law. And what happens at war's end, how do you return to life, after knowing only the rhythm and urgency of war?If you enjoy Maabar, please like, subscribe and support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/maabarhttps://www.maabarpodcast.com

Maabar معبر | S3 EP5 - معموديّة النار Baptism of Fire.
Outside the hospital, thousands triaged on the pavement, inside they sleep on their side to make room. War is the ultimate teacher for surgeons, who never go home – learning on the go, treating everything from vascular trauma to burn, finding life in death. But if you let someone die, is it the same as killing them?If you enjoy Maabar, please like, subscribe and support us on Patreon:https://patreon.com/maabar

S3 EP4 - كدشنا الأرض | Hit The Deck.
Under relentless bombardment – ambulances hit, hospitals overflowing, shrapnel raining from 32,000 shells – blood is everywhere. Amid the chaos, the cry of an abandoned newborn in the maternity ward becomes a ray of light, reminding first responders of their calling, their duty, and their purpose as unknown fighters from every walk of life. تحت قصف ما بيوقف – سيارات إسعاف بتنضرب، ومستشفيات بتفوّل، وشظايا بتشتّي من 32 ألف قذيفة – الدم للركب. وبهالفوضى، صوت مولود جديد متروك بقسم الولادة بيصير فسحة أمل، بيذكّر المُسعفين ليش هّني هون، وشو واجبن، وشو هدفن، كمقاتلين مجهولين، جايين من خلفيّات متنوعة.

S3 EP3 - يا بتقيمه، يا بتموت أنت | Treat him, or die.
Operating under the gun, doctors were threatened by drugged militants, forced to treat fighters, even kidnapped to treat a warlord’s mother. With other first responders, they protected identities, changed names, stole fuel to keep hospitals and clinics running, they even sedated fighters to prevent a bloodbath. Silent guardian angels, they cheated death, for the sake of life.تحت تهديد السلاح، الأطباء كانوا مهدّدين من قبل مسلّحين مَخدّرين، ومفروض عليهن يطبّبوا مقاتلين، أو حتّى انخطفوا ليعالِجوا أمّ زعيم حرب. هنّي ومُسعفين غيرهن، خبّوا الهويات، وغيّروا أسامي، وسرقوا بنزين ليخلّوا المستشفيات والمراكز شغّالة، وحتّى خدّروا مقاتلين ليمنعوا مجزرة. كانوا ملاك حارس بصمت، وخدعوا الموت ليحافظوا على الحياةIf you enjoy Maabar, please like, subscribe and support us on Patreon:https://patreon.com/maabar

In the midst of their emergency response, medics and doctors sometimes had to scramble to tend to their own needs, with even food being scarce and not easy to secure. Yet their dedication and selflessness never wavered in the face of the tragedies they had to tend to and improvise their way out of.
