0419Iraq5
Gainesville Dr. Jim Froehlich spent a month in Mosul, Iraq, helping women and children injured in the warzone between Iraqi and IS forces. The hospital was funded by the World Health Organization and organized by Samaritan’s Purse.
Behind the 14-foot blast wall surrounded in razor wire, Dr. Jim Froehlich heard the “not-so-distant” sounds of a mortar attack at a hospital near Mosul, Iraq. Not long after, an ambulance arrived with women and children injured in the attack. “I started working within the hour when I got to the hospital,” Froehlich said.
