We met this Chinese Rescue Team last night in Aleppo. After an impossibly long journey to Syria they are here to help for 15 days and bring a lot of expertise and determination to find survivors even now. We thanked them. Syria thanks them ππ
Here they are meeting with the Lattakia Fire Brigade.

Fares Shehabi in Aleppo. A true patriot who has never abandoned his country or the Syrian people. He has worked tirelessly to provide for the earthquake victims since tragedy struck the North of the country.

We are hearing reports of earthquake damage in #Aleppo countryside and of more than one tremor in coastal areas. π

What the REAL Syria Civil Defence (established 1953) achieved with dated and war/sanctions-decimated equipment is nothing short of a miracle.
#WhiteHelmet budget with #USAID alone for heavy machinery in 2022 was $25.2m. WH annual budget is $35 million for less than 3000 volunteers. Money goes to bank accounts reportedly managed by three so called directors. Raed Saleh, Farouq Habib and Munir Mustafa. There are no genuinely independent audits or transparency.
The REAL Syria Civil Defence annual budget for approximately 10, 000 volunteers is 50, 000 dollars.

HaySatar Crowdfunding Fundraiser Platform
Help the earthquake victims in Syria
On February 6, a deadly earthquake hit southern Turkey and northern Syria. While most countries rushed to help the victims in Turkey, very few countries helped Syrians in their despair. Therefore, I'm creating this crowdfunding as a Syrian with Armenian originsβ¦

Early last week, Turkey, Syria & surrounding countries experienced a series of earthquakes & aftershocks which tragically struck Syria and Turkey the hardest, killing over 35,000 people now, including over 4,300 in Syria.
I spoke with Marwa Osman to discuss the impact of the West's cruel anti-Syrian sanctions on the current rescue & relief efforts in Syria. Marwa is a Lebanese journalist, political commentator & host & producer of the Mideast Stream.
βIt's already devastating in Syria because of the cumulative effect of the sanctions. Before the earthquakes, the sanctions worked on 3 specialized levels:
The first level is on the financial institutions in Syria that are directly linked to the government. If you want to wire money from outside of Syria to any bank in Syria, it has to go through the central bank of Syria, which has been sanctioned since the early days of the war. Which means if you want to transfer & wire money to the people affected by the earthquake to their bank accounts in Syria, you can't, because its still under sanctions...
The second level: the health sector in Syria. The sanctions are on everything within the governmental institutions in Syria, one of which is the Ministry of Health, which controls all of the health sector in Syria. Syria does have privatized hospitals, but majorly all of the hospitals in Syria are controlled by the government, because everyone has the right to have medical care in Syria. By doing these sanctions on all institutions related to the Syrian government, you by default sanction the health sector in Syria.
Third: sanctioning any country that deals with the Syrian government, whether buying selling products, especially medical products or machinery needed for reconstruction, ambulances...You're not allowed to deal with Syria or you will be sanctioned...If you have the right technology, you can detect whether there are people under the rubble. Syria isn't even allowed to buy this technology, because of the sanctions.β
