Syria’s civilians are increasingly forgotten as humanitarian aid dries out

The Islamic State and drug kingpins fill the void as desperate civilians look for alternatives to feed themselves

The millions of civilians in need of humanitarian aid in Syria are bracing themselves for dwindling international help this year, after the World Food Programme (WFP) has ended its mandate for the country as of 2024.  The Syrian government last week extended its approval for cross-border United Nations humanitarian aid to be delivered through a crossing with Turkey for another six months.  The mechanism is an attempt by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad government to enhance his legitimacy in the eyes of the international community since Russia, a main backer of Assad, blocked UN Security Council resolution to use the Bab al-Hawa crossing in July, forcing international partners to work with Damascus.

Day 17: Journal.

Day 18: Drive.

New pfp!

And a little meme with my OCs so that this post is more interesting. =)

I'm kinda ill, though the sun is shining, so my mood is slightly happier each time I look out the window. ☀️✨️ The news is awful lately, so please consider supporting Ukraine in any way you can. You can always DM me for any info on this topic. Slava Ukraini!

Я трохи хворію, хоча сяє сонце, тому мій настрій стає злегка веселішим щоразу, як я дивлюся у вікно. ☀️✨️ Останнім часом новини жахливі, однак тримаймося та працюймо. Дякую всім, завдяки кому ми ще живі. Слава Україні!

«Your seong is "Seong"?»

Bro was trying to be funny. ☠️

I could feel them cringing.

Soung Gi-hun had already heard this joke countless times, probably.

Бро намагався бути веселим.☠️

Було відчутно, як їм кринжово.

Сон Гі Хун, мабуть, вже не раз чув цей жарт.

Maybe the war made me a cynical and bitter person but all of the Eurovision discourse this year makes me laugh. No, for real

First of all, all the comparisons to Russian case are ridiculous. Russia wasn’t banned in 2008 after invasion of Georgia. Russia wasn’t banned in 2014 after invasion of Ukraine. Russia wasn’t banned in 2015 after intervention in Syria. “bUt wE bAnNEd ruSsIa in 2022.” Dude, you all missed a fucking decade.

Secondly, Ukrainians have been trying to uphold their contestants to some standards for years. But I DO remember the annoyance of Eurovision fans about Maruv and Alina Pash being cancelled. “Music is out of politics.” “Why these fucking Ukrainians making everything so political.” The phrase “Crimea is Ukraine” was turned into a meme. Yeah, why do Ukrainians care so much about annexed territories and ongoing war.

And this year somehow became the year of politics. Two-faced morons

today I woke up at five in the morning

my alarm clock is russian ballistic missiles

and then more missiles. and more. and shahed drones after that.

I know you most likely won't see it on the news in your country. But despite the low media coverage, Ukraine needs you now more than ever. Now that we receive no military aid from the US. Every penny counts. Please, if you have any funds to spare, consider donating to one of the Ukrainian non-profits listed here. Thank you. The attacks continues still, but we're alive so everything will be alright.

Interim Note

Hi everyone,

Thank you very much for your support. The whole family is heartwarmed over your kindness. We're still piecing together what happened and the next steps, but of course dealing with multiple governments and also OPSEC are complicating the matter. There's already misinformation about her circulating in the news cycles, so be very skeptical about what you read, even if it's a reputable publication. Russia's propaganda machine is very well-oiled at the moment.

Once we've got solid, sharable information, I'll post it here for you. That may take up to a week or possibly even longer, though. We've been warned through many channels that the Russian trolls keep watch for unguarded family statements.

That's not to say that her story won't be told! I intend for EVERYONE to know what a special, amazing person she was. I knew this from the moment I met her - it's why I married her.

Russia (Muscovy) is an evil imperialist nation, and this is largely unchanged since Catherine the Great. I rarely (if ever) use the word "evil", but it really is the correct usage in this case. I've been keeping a close watch on geopolitics over the past two years, and for the first time I'm hopeful as I observe Europe beginning to awaken, Japan and allies quietly preparing in the East, and America's backbone returning (despite the current socio-political instability and their awkward partnerships).

We will defeat this evil. We've done it before in Germany and Japan and Italy. Totalitarianism is doomed to lose.

Слава Україні. Слава вільному світу.

wtf is wrong w y'all interacting with "poor russian queer's" post but COMPLETELY IGNORING UKRAINIAN QUEERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY DYING IN THE BATTLE ZONES AND IN THEIR OWN HOMES???

western policy about finding justification of aggressors wrong and horrible suddenly became "not so plain" when it comes to russia. I bet if someone from israel made a post like this you'd throw rocks at them. why are russians justified then?

and I'm queer myself, I'm not talking about "boohoo you shall not support queers". nuh. it's about y'all supporting russian queers but COMPLETELY forgetting about ukrainian queers (who are being killed every day by russia tho 😉😉😉)

"russia has a great culture! where are the Ukrainian artists?"

russia killed them.
