Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #951 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY August 20, 2024: ‘FORSAKEN SYRIA’ by ZUMA Partner agency dpa photo-journalist Anas Alkharboutli: In Syria, the conflict continues unabated after more than 13 years of fighting. In 2024, it remains one of the world’s largest displacement crises. Almost half of the country’s internally displaced reside in the north-west of the country alone. Years of crisis have upended the lives of children and their families across the Syrian Arab Republic, leaving 15.3 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, including 7 million children. Since 2014, over 12,700 civilians in north-west Syria alone have been killed by hostilities. The 2023 Syria-Turkiye earthquakes further deepened the suffering, claiming the lives of at least 4,500 people in north west Syria, including over 100 aid workers. Today over 80 per cent of the population in north west Syria, rely on humanitarian assistance to meet their most basic needs. Welcome to ‘FORSAKEN SYRIA’
