The emergency in Syria persists as tensions reignited on Wednesday, November 27. Aleppo remains under the control of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham jihadists and other opposition groups to the Damascus government. Supplies are difficult to deliver, and water availability is intermittent. Thousands are fleeing!
What is happening in Aleppo?
"Unfortunately, the Terra Santa College was hit by an airstrike — a missile destroyed one section of the monastery, specifically the storage facility. Thankfully, the friars are unharmed, and the emergency bread production process continues. It is vital to sustain this effort, especially after road blockages have made transporting flour in and out of Aleppo extremely difficult. We are currently facing electricity outages, a lack of water, and growing rumors on social media about a possible communications blackout. Thank you for your support!"
What is needed?
We need support for:
- Bread production and distribution in Aleppo for families remaining in both the western and eastern parts of the city.
- Food and medical aid for families still in Aleppo. Rising prices are feared due to road blockages.
- Support for displaced families from Aleppo and Hama arriving in Latakia and Damascus, including assistance in arranging accommodation in convents, shelters, or rented homes.
- Essential supplies for displaced families, including food and blankets for the coming month, and medical aid for the most vulnerable cases.
