The Assad regime’s persistent bombing of the region over the years has left its infrastructure unsustainable. This latest calamity has only exacerbated an already fragile situation for civilians in Syria. Syrian civilians find themselves yet again in a devastating situation after the earthquake at 04:00 am local time on the 6th of February 2023. The numbers of those who were victims of the earthquake is growing by hour in addition to those who were injured. Today, the northwestern regions of Syria were declared as “Disaster areas”. Thankfully, we were able to reach our colleagues and they are all safe, but some of them have lost their homes or sustained severe damage.
Huquqyat stands in solidarity with all those who were affected by the earthquake and our hearts go out to all our friends and families in Syria.
At this time, we would like to kindly ask those of you who would like to support the victims and their families to donate to local organizations who provide direct support on the ground, such as the the White Helmets, who are working tirelessly on the ground to rescue those trapped and provide immediate relief to the victims.
