We — and I still volunteer in the aid and development sectorsperiodically — are the unarmed soldiers on the frontlines these days. Most of us make informed decisions about going into harm’s way. Polio vaccinators are more likely driven to the job by poverty rather than the humanitarian imperative. My friend Manar was just doing a job that he had done for years. He went to work every day pushing trolleys, helping the doctors and nurses on the wards and all for a small — but regular — wage to feed and house his extended family. He was the last, there will be no more cards from Syria, and I so much the poorer.
