    A doctor carried the small limp body of a dead boy in a tracksuit and placed him in a corner, arms splayed across the blood-smeared tile. On the floor nearby, surrounded by discarded bandages and rubber gloves, lay a wounded boy and girl, their limbs tangled with the stands holding IV drips in their arms.

    Two young girls were being treated, still covered in dust from the collapse of the house that had buried their family.

    “My parents are under the rubble,” sobbed one. “I want my mum, I want my mum, I want my family.”

    If you’re not furious, you’re not paying attention.
