1- In most hospitals in northern #Syria, hundreds of children lie alone, after being the only survivors of their families, following the devastating #earthquake that hit #Syria & #Turkey. No one has the heart to tell them yet that they have lost their entire family.
2- Our story today is about three-year-old Tariq Haidar. We rescued him from under the rubble after 42 hours from the earthquake in #Jenderes City in #Aleppo. He lost his parents and three brothers, and his left leg was amputated.
3- In the first moments when he woke up, he kept asking about Miral. When we asked who Miral is, he told us that she is his sister & was sleeping beside him, but she did wasn't answering him. Until today, no one told him that she died with the rest of his family.
4- A special organization must be established to take care of these children, compensate them for their irreplaceable loss, and protect them psychologically and physically in every possible way. This must be the primary function of child protection organizations in the #UN.

1- The heinous Syrian regime and its allies are taking advantage of the tragedy of the Syrian #earthquake in the most appalling manner possible, with the intention of gaining international sympathy and burying its crimes against the #Syrian people. I will share some stories.
2- A Syrian singer named Nassif Zeitoun recently released a song supposedly sympathizing with the earthquake victims, but used a great deal of lies and propaganda, presenting footage from northwestern Syria and attributing it to areas controlled by the regime.
3- The singer used clips of rescue operations carried out by the #WhiteHelmets, but deliberately obscured their presence. He also displayed footage of the Syrian regime's civil defense army, Red Crescent, and army personnel in a clear and unambiguous manner.
1- Every day, I feel the magnitude of our tragedy more and more, with every story you hear, you feel the enormous disappointment they have as #Syrians, as they telling you that they heard the last voices of their loved ones under the rubble and could not do anything for them.
2- Today, a White Helmet friend was telling me his story, he lost his mother, brother, six nephews, and several other relatives.. "We dug with our bare hands for hours and saved many people, but we gradually stopped hearing the voices of survivors under the rubble.
3- The scene was the same every time we reached a person under the rubble. You would see him embracing all his children and his wife, and died side by side. It was very cold, like the Day of Resurrection, due to the destruction and horror of the scene.
On this day in 2018, the Assad regime launched a #ChemicAlattack in #Saraqib City, #Syria. At least 12 people suffocated, according to UN reports. Despite an #OPCW investigation that proved the regime's responsibility, no accountability has been sought to date.
The #Saraqib attack was one of three chemical attacks for which the Assad regime was found responsible by the #OPCW, with the others occurring in #Lataminah (March 2017) and #Douma (April 2018). 43 people suffocated to death in the Douma attack alone.
The Saraqib attack occurred a day after a Russian fighter was shot down near Saraqib City in #Idlib, and coincided with a brutal military campaign by #Russia and the #Assad regime against civilians across #Syria.
