Some 400,000 Syrians have died from bullets, bombs, chemical weapons attacks or torture during the country's brutal seven-year war—but even more may have died as a result of the breakdown of its health system.

The regime of President Bashar al-Assad has targeted hospitals, clinics and medical personnel in a strategy to destroy the country’s medical infrastructure. Between the fighting and the destruction done to the health-care system, today most Syrians can’t expect to live to 65. Chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease have become far more deadly, according to reports from the @WorldBank and @who. Many perish because they can’t get medicine, or even reach a hospital.
