When a patient on a stretcher enters the ward, doctors quickly provide first aid.
Six months following the war, the ward is always in a state of tension with wounded soldiers arriving several times a day.

As the war continues, the damage to both countries is increasing like a snowball, but there are hardly any signs of a ceasefire.
