#Turkey in Syria

[moonlayl]

The Death Toll of the Earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria may have reached 20,000 people, and that’s outside of all those who are injured and lost.

If you could donate PLEASE do!!!

Here’s a post full of charities you could donate to, but I’ll add my own trustworthy ones here:

Islamic Relief:  teams are on the ground right now providing emergency food assistance, shelter, medical supplies to hospitals and clinics, as well as blankets and tents for those made homeless by the quake in Turkey and Syria

Molham: The team at Molham are currently on the ground helping displaced families in Turkey and Syria who have been affected by the earthquake   

The White Helmets: The team are on the ground in Northwest Syria searching for survivors and removing the dead from the rubble.

MSF: remaining in close contact with the local authorities in northwestern Syria and with the authorities in Turkey to extend their support where it’s needed. They’re providing essential life kits to displaced people in the region

please PLEASE reblog. Syria and Turkiye need our help!!!

Hello! I remember sometime last year you were recommending someone making kuffiyehs. Do you still know who exactly that was? I think you mentioned having bought one from them.

I really would like to buy one myself so I thought I'd ask!

Hirbawi is the last and only original keffiyehs factory in Palestine. I bought a keffiyeh directly from them last year while they still had a few in stock. If you want to buy one now, I think you have to sign up to be notified for when their pre-orders drop.

They also have a list of their official global supply partners on their website. If you have any Palestinian stores in your country, they may also periodically get shipments from Hirbawi even if they're not listed as an official partner. Just be careful so you don't end up buying some cheap knock-off.

As Israeli forces advance into Syrian territory, Turkey continues to maneuver inside the country and the US, along with other Western nations, seek to dictate what the incoming government will look like.

I've seen a lot of posts bringing attention to the devastating earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria, but with a focus mainly on Turkey, so allow me to talk about Syria.

The earthquake hit several areas of Syria (Aleppo, Idlib, Latakia, Hama, and Tartus) that were already devastated by war over the past 13 years. As of me writing this post, there are over 1700 people dead in Syria alone, and hundreds injured and wounded, not counting people still stuck under the rubble. I'm too emotionally drained to try to appeal to people's humanity, but please take a moment to look through the following sources of Syrian people reporting directly from Syria, and help if you can.

Syrian accounts reporting Syrian news in English and Arabic:

Post with some resources to help

And some western news articles to confirm what I'm saying:

News article with campaigns and organisations to donate to

Same news and places to donate from the New York Times

And perhaps most importantly, I ask you to read up on sanctions on Syria and educate yourself on the slow, painful genocide Syrians are suffering at the hand of Western countries. No electricity, gas, or medicine reaching the Syrian people for 13 years now. No economy allowed to flourish. No hope for the Syrian people under these sanctions to survive normal every day life or a cold winter, let alone disaster of this magnitude. There's a campaign to stop the sanctions on Syria, but it's led by Syrians when we are the least able to affect this type of change. Read on it. Talk to your representatives if you can and demand for sanctions to be dropped and help put stop to this. Just look through the Syrian accounts I linked for more perspective. Thank you.

Under Erdogan, Turkey has become the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, a willing accomplice in advancing the U.S. Empire’s objectives in the region.

🇺🇦🇹🇷 They Kiev Post also admitted that Ukraine have trained Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Al-Nusra and many other terrorist fractions on Turkey's territory.

🇸🇾 To understand the Syrian conflict:

Russia and Iran are the only countries legally invited on request of the Syrian government for peace.

The others fund terrorists as a cover up to steal millions of barrels of oil daily.

Hundred of thousands of Gazans are dead and missing…

While Erdogan is still sending OIL TO ISRAEL!

these houses in the village of shaykh hidal in syria are a few of several in the north-western middle east built in a dome shape. the walls are made of layers of mud brick stuffed with straw and built into a circle, with a hole left on the top providing light. this type of architecture provides protection for all sorts of weather from rain to heat. the first known traces of this centuries-old technique were found in jericho, and the oldest known example in the mesopotamia region comes from 3,000 years ago. some of the domes are rooms of a larger house which are connected by hallways.

several of the dome houses in syria are endangered because of the civil war, but restoration work on many of those affected is ongoing, which is especially urgent as many syrians continue to live in them today.
