🔶 Dey [month] takes a victim every day; the wounds are still bleeding

🔻 A report by Atfeh Chahar-Mahalian

Dey [month] continues in bodies and wounds. War bullets, shrapnel and knives; bodies cleaved open under a barrage of lead, eyes that can no longer see, nerves, blood vessels and muscles that have stopped working, and hands and feet that no longer return to the bodies. Prosthetics have taken the place of eyes, shrapnel shifts through bodies, and infection devours the tissues; sometimes vital organs stop functioning, and sometimes the pain of injuries that could have been treated with a few stitches leaves the surviving body of Dey [month] only through death.

For months, the claws of fear, insecurity and psychological and economic problems have been digging into the hearts of those who returned home alive from the gunfire during the protests of Dey [month]. Summons and security pressures, insecurity in hospitals and the heavy costs of treatment have forced many to hide their injuries and abandon medical care.
