The humanitarian crisis in Aleppo and AlShahba: an appeal for solidarity and assistance
The city of #Aleppo, its countryside, and the Al-Shahba area are experiencing a severe humanitarian crisis, worsened by recent military events in these regions. This has resulted in the mass displacement of thousands of families, including many children, women, and the elderly, who are enduring harsh conditions of homelessness and bitter cold for days.
For our part, in addition to our readiness to provide necessary healthcare during their displacement and until they reach safe areas under the Autonomous Administration, we are committed to offering assistance to the best of our abilities. We urge our people at home and in the diaspora to extend a helping hand as much as possible, as solidarity in times of crisis reflects our humanity and strengthens the values of cooperation and brotherhood among us.
We hope for peace for all our people throughout Syria.

he displacements from Lebanon to the Shahba areas highlight new suffering in addition to the previous displacement suffering

In light of the current situation, the Shahba areas are once again opening their doors to receive people fleeing the ongoing conflict in Lebanon, where the displaced face a painful reality, with some living in camps with former displaced families, while others suffer from the lack of any shelter or support.
