人道主義者救援企業家以及 TED 會員蘿拉海拉姆說，當地的人道主義者是戰爭黑暗中的燈塔。在像敘利亞這種飽受摧殘的社區中，摧毀健康照護被當作是戰爭的武器之一。在這些地方，她致力於協助地面應變者。她的計畫之一，是建成全球第一個群眾募資的醫院。它在 2017 年開張，且有個很適切的名稱：希望醫院。該醫院已經治療了數以千計的孩童。海拉姆說：「當地的人道主義者有勇氣堅持，從殘骸中站起來，拍掉身上的塵土，重新開始，冒著自己的生命危險去拯救他人。」「我們也能夠配合他們的勇氣，做法就是不要忽視或轉身離去。」

是我診所工作的公休日，
我在設置「CanDo（直譯：能做）」，

46

給那些受到戰爭摧殘的社區。
02:48
We had devised a simple model:
47
156609
1861
我們設計出了一個簡單的模型：
02:51
source trusted and impactful local groups,

03:03
So when IDA asked for help,
52

所以，當 IDA 尋求協助時，
03:05
I decided to launch CanDo
seven months early,
seven months early,
53
173768
3769
我決定要提早幾個月讓 CanDo 上線，
03:09
with very little money,
54
177561
1595
由於資金非常少，
03:11
and many people, including myself,
thought I had finally gone mad.

55
179180

the People's Convoy was born.

03:29
to enable IDA to rebuild
a whole new children's hospital,

60
197353
3587

04:00
IDA was so moved by people's response,
70
228188
2769
大家的反應深深打動了 IDA，
04:02
they named it "Hope Hospital."
71
230981
2063
於是把它取名為「希望醫院」。

Why are hospitals being bombed?

Rola Hallam: Yeah, good question.
98
322966
1602
蘿拉海拉姆：嗯，好問題。
05:36
So, Physicians for Human Rights
have documented
have documented
99
324592
2986
根據人權醫生的記錄，
05:39
nearly 500 attacks on hospitals
100
327602
1635
針對醫院的攻擊已經有近 500 件，
05:41
and over 800 medical personnel
who have been killed --

over 90 percent of it
by the Syrian regime --

102
332037

and they say this is part
of a systemic targeting

103
335529

他們說，這是系統性針對並摧毀
05:50
and destruction of health care,
104
338547
1486
健康照護的一部分，
05:52
using it as a weapon of war.
105
340057
1378
是戰爭的一種武器。
05:54
And the thing with this is
that it's not just our problem,
that it's not just our problem,
106
342209
2726
重點是，它並不只是我們的問題，
05:56
it's yours, too, and everyone's,
107
344959
1531
也是你們的、大家的問題，
05:58
because A, it exacerbates
the refugee situation --

06:00
when you have a decimated
health care system,

109
348891

06:03
it means the next Ebola-type
epicenter of disease is going to be Syria;

就表示下一次伊波拉型的
疾病中心地將會是敘利亞；

06:07
and unfortunately, it sets
a very dangerous precedent

111
355167
2765
不幸的是，它建立了
非常危險的先例，
非常危險的先例，
06:09
that makes all of our hospitals
anywhere in the world dangerous,
anywhere in the world dangerous,
112
357956

讓我們在世界各地的
所有醫院都陷入危險，
所有醫院都陷入危險，
06:13
and that is now how it should be.
113
361444
1778
那就是現在的狀況。
06:15
SA: So this actually
isn't just about money, either,

And I think the fact that --

我認為──
06:50
and they see things
through the prism of government,
through the prism of government,
126

且他們透過政府的棱鏡在看事物，
所以當他們看到政府沒有行動，
06:53
so when they see government's not acting,
127

他們就假設在那些地方的
每個人都不在乎。

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Rola Hallam - Humanitarian aid entrepreneurTED Fellow Rola Hallam helps local humanitarians provide aid to their own war-devastated communities.
Why you should listen
After war broke out in her home country of Syria, British-Syrian anaesthesiologist Rola Hallam wanted to use her medical expertise to work directly with Syrian NGOs to help save lives. She co-founded Hand in Hand for Syria, which played an integral part in building seven hospitals in northern Syria. But Hallam wanted to make sure local aid organizations – not just international NGOs – had support too. So in 2016, she founded CanDo, a social enterprise that enables local humanitarians from war-devastated areas to provide aid to their own communities through global crowdfunding and supporting them through an accelerator program. To date, CanDo has helped raise $400,000 from over 5,000 donors around the world. Hallam also works as a global advocate to press decision-makers to stop the targeting of civilians in war zones, and the protection of medical neutrality.
