Ali Safiuddin, a veteran of Lebanon's Civil Defense (a state emergency rescue service) in the country's south, has continued risking his life to save others despite suffering devastating personal losses, including the killing of his toddler daughter by Israeli forces in 2006 and three colleagues in 2024. His story is documented in a new Al Jazeera film, "The Ones We Couldn't Save," which highlights the human toll borne by emergency responders working amid prolonged conflict. The film underscores how Lebanon's front-line workers face not only physical danger but profound grief, yet press on in service to their communities.
