Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullhi Wabarakatu -Peace be upon you with the mercy and blessings of Allah
I hope u all lovely readers are in good health...
AT YOUR WORST ALLAH GIVES YOU HIS BEST♡♡so never despair of the mercy of Allah..
Well at some point in our lives we all must be thinking how can we help the people in war-torn countries or how is this information about the syrian crisis going to make it any easier for them
Who said we cannot do anything because we are not in Syria or we do not have teams to help the people physically.YES we can help the more you are aware of the crisis;the more we can do together to help those in need.The lifesaving work that we do daily like helping people survive conflict and build brighter futures;is only possible with your knowledge and support.
WHEN DID THE CRISIS BEGIN?
The anti-government protests began in March 2011;it was part of the Arab spring;but peaceful protests came into action after the governments violent out-break.Rebels began fighting against the regime.
Armt defectors had loosely organized the Free Syrian Army and many Syrian civilians took up arms to join the opposition.Divisions between secular and islamist fighters,and between ethnic groups...
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO SYRIANS CAUGHT IN THE WAR?
Almost five years after it began;the full-blown civil war has killed over 220 000 people;half of them are believed to be civilians.Bombings are destroying crowded cities and horrific violations of human rights are widespread.Basic necessities like food and medical care are scarce.
The United Nations estimates that 6.6 million people are inwardly displaced.When you also consider refugees;more than half of the country's pre-war population of 23 million is in need of urgent humanitarian assistance;whether they still remain in the country or have escaped across the borders.
-Syrian youth have lost five years of their life;but not their resolve.
In October 2015;Russia began launching airstrikes at ISIS targets in Syria.This forced even more Syrians to flee for safety and made delivery of humanitarian aid to Syrian civilians more difficult.
In early February 2016,fighting around Aleppo city(capital city of Syria) intensified and the main route for humanitarian aid was cut off.This has severely limited access, and Mercy Corps operations in Northern Syria have been effectively brought down to half due to fierce fighting.
WHERE ARE THE SYRIAN PEOPLE FLEEING TO?
The majority of Syrian refugees are living in Lebanon and Jordan,where Mercy Corps has been addressing their needs since 2012.In the regions two smallest countries,weak infrastructure and limited resources are nearing a breaking point under the strain.
In August 2013; more Syrians escaped into the Northern Iraq at a newly opened border crossing.Now they are trapped by Iraq's own insurgent conflict,and Iraq is struggling to meet the needs of Syrian refugees on top of more than one million displaced Iraqis.
An increasing number of Syrian refugees are fleeing across the border into Turkey; creating new cultural tension.Mercy Corps is working in these areas as well as to help families meet their basic needs and find work.
Hundreds of thousands of refugees are also attempting the dangerous trip across the Mediterranean Sea from Turkey to Greece,hoping to find a better futre in Europe.Not all of them make it across alive.Those who do not make it to Greece still face steep challenges-resources are strained and services are minimal.
WHAT IS MERCY CORP ORGANISATION?
Mercy Corps is a leading global organisation powered by the belief that a better world is possible.
Please read it with atmost respect and hope that one day they will be free I am not sure if you great readers will enjoy it to the fullest but my pledge to you is remember all the people from war-torn areas in your prayers and create alot of awareness
