Das deutsche Außenministerium schätzt die Menschenrechtslage in #Syrien als „katastrophal“ ein
Keine Region Syriens ist sicher

Die Lebensmittelkosten seien seit 2020 um mehr als das 8fache gestiegen
90 % der syr Bevölkerung lebten unterhalb der Armutsgrenze, 68 % seien von Hunger bedroht

Frauen + Mädchen sind außerdem immer wieder Opfer von Vergewaltigungen.

"[Y]ou already had media capture [..] where the president's cronies - businessmen around him in his coterie - are given lucrative contracts. And they were then pretty much told that they had to hoover up, buy the mainstream media outlets which in turn became mouthpieces for the government"

"Lebanon crisis: The Syrian refugees recycling to stay alive

Deiri Fayyad rummages through dustbins in the Lebanese capital Beirut in search of plastics and other discarded materials to be recycled. It is poorly paid work, but the father of three has little option if he is to feed his family.

"I start early morning at 8:30 and work for over 12 hours," he says, as he continues looking through the waste.

With bare hands and no protective clothing, Deiri pushes his body deep inside the bin, opening plastic rubbish bags to see what he can find. He makes about 250,000 Lebanese pounds ($2; £1.63) a day."

PLEASE HELP ME RAISE MUCH NEEDED FUNDS!

By now, most of us have heard of the devastation in both #Syria & #turkey The earthquakes have toppled some 3000 buildings resulting in a rapidly growing official death toll that is (as at the time of this post) approaching 8,000 people. The W.H.O estimates as many as 20,000 people may have died. Currently, around 35,000 people have been injured and many need critical medical care.

Will you help me raise much needed funds for a local not-for-profit medical relief organisation?

My thoughts and prayers continue to go out to the people of Syria and Turkey and to their family and friends in our community 🙏
