That is how the Syrians rescue the victims of the regime’s air raids, with their bare hands, while their eyes are glued to the ground, wondering what lies beneath, the latest
I followed on the TV screens the local attempts in Aleppo to pull out the civilians from under the debris and shattered walls of concrete which were their homes. I am not going to mention the more than one hundred casualties because some of them will remain there under the debris where their last hours were spent in embracing the melted concrete and steel. No. Instead, I am going to concentrate my attention on what one member of the Civil Defense was saying: We only have axes, shovels, bare hands and sticks.
People and governments of the very civilized world, we need heavy machinery, debris lifting equipment and life saving tools. Will providing us with such equipment weaken the world economy? Or do you believe that burying the Syrians alive is safer than saving them?
تابعت على شاشة التليفزيون هذا الصباح محاولات الانقاذ ورفع الانقاض للوصول الى الضحايا في حلب. فريق الدفاع المدني يقف شبه عاجز وهم يشيرون الى انهم لا يملكون اكثر من الفؤوس والجواريف والعصي لرفع الانقاض ولاداء مهمتهم. نريد رافعات انقاض وآليات ثقيلة واجهزة للاسعافات الاولية لانقاذ الارواح. هل هذا مستحيل؟ هل هذا سيضعف الاقتصاد العالمي؟ ام هل تعتقدون ان دفن السوريين احياء افضل من انقاذهم؟
We need such machinery in the areas outside the regime control where it is engaged in the game of annihilation
And such machinery
