Jacques Beres, the 71-year old surgeon and co-founder of the NGO, Medecins Sans Frontieres, is this week’s 1worldinternational Global Personality of the Week. Monsieur Beres was recently in the besieged Syrian city of Homs where he worked in a makeshift operating theatre attending to individuals injured in the ongoing conflict.
In a world severely short of heroes, Beres told the BBC, “I travelled there because it had to be done. It’s an emergency, I’ll return if I can”. On the Syrian people, he remarked, “these people are immensely brave. They just want to get rid of the tyrant”. Mosieur Beres, 1worldinternational salutes you.
