Aid agencies say the health systems in Syria's rebel-controlled areas are devastated, a warning that coincides with the 10-year anniversary of the country's civil war.
A survey by the International Rescue Committee showed the risks health workers and civilians faced over the past decade: 81 percent said they had a co-worker or patient injured or killed, 77 percent witnessed about four attacks on healthcare facilities, and 68 percent were inside a health facility when it was attacked.
