After the takeover of the HTS-jihadists, a war is looming in the Syrian rebel Idlib region. The civilians already suffering under Hunger and cold. A ARD Team could shoot there.
With stones and garbage bags, Hasan Schehan tried the cracked tent seal. However, against the Wind and rain, he hardly has a Chance. The cold creeps through all the chinks of the dilapidated tent. His three children are shaking every day, at temperatures around the freezing point.
“Frankly, we have nothing,” says Hasan. “Only God can help us. We have simply nothing at all.”
In the refugee camp To Tweineh there is virtually no supply by aid organizations – and, accordingly, the most basic things are missing for the refugees.
“Please, it would mean something to us!”
His wife Hasna Khaled lit in the tent, a fire to warm your Loved ones a little. “We are living, sleeping, cooking, washing of this tent,” she says. “There is no harder life than this.” Your son is suffering from acute Bronchitis. “We can afford no medicines, no food, nothing.”
The family fled a year ago from the bombing of the Syrian air force out of their home in Hama to Idlib. Here they hoped to safety. But life has been for you to hell. “We need soap, tea, diapers. Please bring us anything. Ceilings would also help us. We have no heating!”, Schehan gets desperate.
fear of an Invasion
So many in order To Tweineh. The refugee camp in the North Idlibs sinking in the mud. 1500 people fled from other parts of Syria in front of Assad’s troops here – in the vague hope of safety and security for their families. Aid organizations, however, hardly.
“We have left our animals and houses back,” says an older woman who wants to remain anonymous. “We just came with the clothes here, which we are wearing. We wear them still.” Another refugee added: “We are afraid of everything: the Wind, the rain, but also in front of shots, which might fall somewhere.”
shots that may be harbingers of war.
The refugees can keep their tents, just extremely poorly maintained.
Assad wants to recapture the last rebel stronghold
Idlib is again caught in the crosshairs of great powers. In the last rebel stronghold in Syria’s three million people live in a confined space. Every second person here is a refugee.
Assad would conquer the province today rather than tomorrow. Like other parts of the country before. The price is likely to be, the destruction, the million-fold suffering and death. Turkey fears a new wave of refugees.
head of state Recep Tayyip Erdogan wants to prevent the front of the Turkish local elections in March. With Assad’s main ally, Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed in September to a ceasefire for the province. Radical Islamic groups such as the HTS should drag along with the heavy weapons from a buffer zone.
