The article highlights the remarkable transformation in Syria's emergency response services following the civil war. Mohamed Bassem Said recounts his surprise at the professionalism of the White Helmets, a volunteer organization founded in 2013, which has gained international recognition for its life-saving work. Following the Assad regime's ouster, the White Helmets are expanding their reach and services nationwide. This change signifies a shift from years of corruption and mistrust towards a more reliable and community-focused approach to emergency management under their founder, who is now part of Syria's government.
"These new guys don't ask for anything! It's 100 times better," said Mohamed Bassem Said, highlighting the significant change in public services since the civil war.
With the civil war ending, the White Helmets are expanding their role across Syria, marking a shift in local governance and community trust.
