Those who have seen the documentary "Access to the Danger Zone" will have seen MSF volunteers and doctors from a number of countries. What are the dangers staff face when working? The documentary showed that a number of doctors were kidnapped. Their location was unknown at the time in question and there was no request for a ransom. Have there been casualties in Syria or other areas of operation recently?
