: The Syrian people have endured more than 10 years of tragedies. And now the earth itself has shaken beneath us.
More than 33,000 people have died across Turkey and Syria, but most of the aid has gone to Turkey. The bitter truth is that no one is coming to the aid of Syria, because no one is listening; no one has been, for more than a decade. Syrians have prayed, are praying and will pray some more. But so many of us have died that, for Syrians, death isn’t sad. It is now, for many of us, an expectation. The only sad thing is the betrayal, hypocrisy and ignorance that happen along the way.
People have been donating, praying and trying; some world governments are doing the same. But Western governments have failed long ago to make the kinds of commitments that would help Syrians. I wish I felt otherwise. But based on the last decade, I have to assume that the world will soon forget about the Syrians buried under the rubble – where forever they will remain.
