Winter Relief to the IDPs in Idlib Countryside

IDPs’ dreams are simple and short-term; warmth, good sleep, food, and other simple things. Deportation throughout Syria has inflicted a widespread desperation for basic rights. As winter approaches, our local teams collaborate to alleviate the miser conditions in freezing camps. Focused on the the Syrian inside and the Turkish-Syrian border, our efforts help affording viable shelters to protect the afflicted population against coarse winters temps.

 
 

Harsh Conditions:

Heavy clashes and ceaseless killing inflict inhumane conditions for the majority of Syria’s population. Border areas suffer continuous migration waves, being relatively safe in comparison to other areas and suburbs. Meanwhile, forced deportation encourages desperate communities to settle in Idlib countryside, a situation that multiplies the  need for food, water, shelter, as well as vital warmth supplies during winter.

Project Description

With Funds from “Al-Islah Association”, Bahrain, “Beyaz Eller Organization” rushed to deliver winter assistance to the afflicted population in Idlib countryside, as part of “Warmth 5” campaign. The community received 525 clothing kits consisting of rain coats, trousers, blouses, rain boots, scarves, hats, gloves, and socks. Assistance items were carefully selected in terms of quality, size, and quantity to ensure warmth during the cold.
 
 

Cases from the Field

A girl in fifth grade told our team...

 

A father of three who works in a bakery shop tells us…

 

“In Future, I dream of becoming a good sewer so i can make sufficient clothing for my family during winter.”
 
“Our living conditions are desperate and unstable. My income is so limited and hardly brings us food. I cannot buy winter clothing for the children.”
 

A mother of four children reflects:

“My husband has died during an air raid leaving four children behind. Now I look after their needs and strive to raise them up” Adding… “I dream of a safer future for them. I strive to educate them and bridge them to a better future. After my husband has died, I learned a new handcraft from my neighbour. Although our income is limited, it covers some basic needs. I still hold a great hope in tomorrow.”

For you, we keep going….

The miser humanitarian conditions in Syria puts a greater responsibility on our shoulders to protect and alleviate their hardship. Thereof, we endeavor to undertake relief projects that focus on immediate assistance as means to help them overcome harsh living conditions”
