The struggle for survival: Syrians struggle to escape disasters and the world ignores.. Details

The humanitarian crisis in Syria has intensified. In addition to political and security crises and the feuding of terrorist militias and the Turkish occupation for more than a decade, these crises reached their highest historical level this week; The cholera outbreak, severe water shortage, and low wheat production were added to the above.

Major crisis

Drought conditions led to the lowest production for more than 10 years of the “wheat crop”, and severe water shortages exacerbated the cholera outbreak in Syria, Mission Network News reported. It noted that UN reports confirmed that those in need of assistance to survive the winter season had risen by 30% since last year, and added that there were more urgent priorities with regard to the global scope of needs, especially what was happening in Ukraine; “This is driving people’s attention away from Syria, but the fact that the Syrian people are in a major crisis, like neighboring Lebanon, a series of crises in Syria make survival increasingly difficult.”

Civil society

The only way most families currently live is by having relatives, especially their children, who have fled to other countries and are sent money from abroad, according to the network. The rates of youth fleeing the country have also become very worrying, especially Christian men, so that they can support their families. Civil society is very active, with many churches, mosques, sects, and ethnicities doing a great job amid this chaos through education programs, children’s activities, and support for small institutions that help provide income for these families.
