While global attention is shifting to other areas of growing conflict, like nearby Gaza and Lebanon, it is crucial not to forget the situation in Aleppo and surrounding regions. The ongoing crises causes untold suffering, particularly for the youngest and most vulnerable members of society, children.
Sana’s Story: A Voice of Resilience
Sana, a 20-year-old Syrian girl, was recently hit by a bomb in Beirut, leaving her with a broken hip and legs. She shares a piece of her story:
“We lived through what we never wanted and ended up with what we didn’t deserve. Every day, we wonder – did we truly deserve this pain, or did we just dream too big? We forgot we live in a world that kills dreams. We’ve survived with patience, but when we were told to let go of what hurts us, we found that the pain was already deep inside us. We’re not weak, and we haven’t given up. But we’re at a point where our energy is drained, and our hearts are out of wishes. We’ve come to realize we’re living the life that’s left to us, not the one we wanted.”
The situation in Aleppo is critical. As economic hardships worsen due to rising living costs and ongoing conflict, the plight of the Syrian people is desperate. 90% of Syrians are living below the poverty line. The chilling winter temperatures exacerbate their suffering, making it crucial to provide immediate relief through warm clothing, food parcels, and safe shelter.
We can continue to help if we all pull together. Let us come together to help all Syrians. Your generosity makes it possible for us to provide critical support in their time of need. Thank you for not forgetting Aleppo.
