Kiwi aid worker returns to Syria after fall of Assad
Hawke's Bay-born humanitarian Mike Seawright – who is the founder of locally-based aid agency ReliefAid, has just re-entered Syria for the first time since the fall of the Assad regime last December. Although ReliefAid has been delivering aid to Syrian families since 2015, Mike had been prevented from entering the country under the dictatorial regime. Now he is visiting Damascus, Aleppo, and Idlib – where his teams worked throughout the war. He joins Jim to discuss what he has found there since the dramatic change in leadership. Photo: Supplied
