Dr Mounir Hakimi comes from Homs in Syria but moved to the UK fourteen years ago to work as a surgeon. For the last few years he's been travelling back and forth to Syria whenever he can take time off to treat those wounded in the ongoing conflict there. Recently however he was needed much closer to home when a suicide bomber targeted a concert just down the road from where he lives in Manchester killing 22 people. He's been telling Jo Fidgen what happened when his two worlds collided. Image: Dr Mounir Hakimi at work Credit: Mounir Hakimi
