A thread about the earthquake that struck northwestern Syria and Turkey on February 6, 2023, and about the suffering of people and failure of humanitarian aid. Please read the thread to the end. 🧵 Pictures of children under the rubble have become our only means to show people that we are in an emergency that world leaders are not declaring.

Nothing can compensate Syrians for this loss. None of them deserved all this pain and disappointment.

The Russian PMC Wagner proudly documents their crimes against humanity with their own cameras. Their crimes are in plain sight, and it is a disgrace they have not been stopped immediately. 🧵 Their crimes were not limited only to Ukraine, but to the whole world. When Russia entered Syria in 2015, Wagner groups began to commit the most heinous massacres against Syrians, which continue today.

This is the state of my father's shop after the Russian-backed Assad regime took control of my city.

Look what these Nazis did on the shop floors. They did this to psychologically destroy us. My father was watching this video with sadness and he told me these are war criminals. Genocide continues in Syria to this day.

Imagine being bombed, killed and expelled from your city, and the international community watches you exposed to all this and does nothing. Shame on the international community

In fact, I am very sad about the killing of media activist Muhammad, who was killed yesterday by unknown assailants in the countryside of Aleppo. I have no words, only destructive. I fear for myself and the rest of the journalists and activists here from the assassinations that are taking place. Unfortunately when you speak the truth you can be a target and lose your life.

On the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression, we remember the thousands of children killed by the Assad regime, Russia and Iran in Syria, the children forcibly disappeared in the cellars of death, and the nearly 3 million Syrian children out of education.👇 Children in Syria are still exposed to various types of violence and death due to their displacement to the camps that lack the most basic necessities of life by the Assad regime and Russia, after the destruction of their schools and homes and leaving them prey to ignorance

As Syrians we are forced to live in very difficult conditions, all around the world. We are threatened because of the racism against us, based on people’s ill thoughts. Our lives and circumstances are very difficult as it is, but we are strong, we will always stand against racism Written by: @celinekasem
Racism against Syrian refugees happens everywhere around the world, not just in Turkey. It is bound to happen in the specific countries that allowed in million of Syrian refugees like Turkey, Canada, Germany and more.
