WE REMEMBER THEM
These are the faces of those we lost. Each life stolen represents a family destroyed, a future denied.
Name: Hossam Ghassan Saraya
Age: 35
Founder of Saraya Smart School and a proud U.S. citizen, Hossam dedicated his life to empowering children with knowledge and hope. His unwavering belief in education as a force for good inspired all who knew him. He was a loving man, a visionary, and a beacon of kindness whose absence leaves a void that can never be filled.
Name: Dr. Faten Hilal
Age: 47
Dr. Faten was a beloved physician and mother, remembered for her boundless compassion and courage. She rushed into danger to save lives at the National Hospital, her final moments spent healing others as violence raged. Her loss is a wound that will never heal, a light of hope and humanity extinguished, but never forgotten.
Name: Ghena Helal
Age: 14
Ghena was a gentle soul who dreamed of uniting people through her music and kindness. She was only 14, full of hope and innocence, her laughter a light in the darkness. Her life was stolen in cold blood, not for anything she did, but simply for who she was. The world lost a future musician, a loving daughter, and a symbol of hope.
Name: Mohammad Bahsas
Age: 34
In his paramedic uniform, with a heroic heart, engineer Mohammad Bahsas rushed to save the wounded at Suwayda National Hospital. His reward for bravery was humiliation, then a treacherous execution within the hospital's walls. He died a martyr, an eternal witness to a savagery that knows no mercy or humanity.
Name: Wael Hael Azzam
Age: 50
Wael was a devoted father and respected community member. He was killed for refusing to betray his principles and provide surveillance camera passwords at the National Hospital. Even under threat, Wael stood firm. His courage cost him his life, but his sacrifice remains a testament to the dignity of As-Suwayda.
Name: Amro Al-Baini
Age: 19
Amro had a heart full of love for engineering and his beloved, Rita. As he pleaded in the name of their love, his voice was silenced forever. Burned alive in his home by "new Tatars," not for being a fighter, but for believing in life and love. He died a martyr, leaving behind a burning question in all our hearts.
THEIR SACRIFICE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN
These are just 6 faces among the 2000+ civilians murdered during the siege.
Each name represents a story cut short, a family shattered, a community wounded.
