From the Plains of Nineveh: A Nurse on the Front Lines of Mosul

This is the journal of a 25-year old nurse, who was stationed on the Plains of Nineveh at the Front Lines of Mosul, with an international disaster team in 2017. While a war raged between government and ISIS forces over the city, the relief team stood by to aid the wounded and dying that came through their trauma bay doors.Each day was deemed unpredictable, as the hospital treated victims of drone attacks, suicide bombers, landmines, snipers, as well as ISIS soldiers who had been hurt in battle. An unnerving amount of patients were women and children.After each day, the nurse would return to her bunkhouse and unload in writing, while explosions of bombs shook the walls around her. Live or die, there was a message needed to be shared.
