IDPs displaced ... They escaped from death to find themselves facing another tragedy

Mohammed Al-Jazaery - Aleppo countryside

The darkness and the smoke of heated loses eyes full of disease, surrounded by cold walls that increase suffering. Abu Muhammad, a resident of Maarat al-Numan in Idlib countryside, has been displaced with his wife, whom he considers his eyes to be seen with after the disease lost vision in one of them and weakened the second.

After a long journey, he does not know where he is going, his journey landed in a commercial store in the northern city of Afrin in the northern countryside of Aleppo, displaced and tired from the severity of poverty and tragedy, surrounded by in the neighboring shops, displaced persons from several cities and towns forced by the regime and Russia to leave their homes, to share with Abu Muhammad suffering Live.

Abu Muhammad says, “My children poverty impoverishes their bodies, and all of us are in a place and we could not get anything out of our homes with us. Some families helped us with some blankets and clothes.” Abu Muhammad added, “Eighty-five years I lived in which I did not see coercion or humiliation like this that we see today because of Assad's war and his allies are upon us. "

Constant displacement
Residents continue to flee from the eastern and southern Idlib countryside, as the shelling of the regime forces and Russia has expanded in conjunction with the ground military operations of the regime forces and the militias loyal to it, which aim to control the cities of Maarat al-Numan and monitor the two strategies for their great geographical importance.

The escalation also included most of the cities and towns of Idlib countryside, which left a large number of displaced people, numbering more than 400,000, who moved to the camps of northern Syria and the less bombed cities, according to statistics of local organizations, since the beginning of the military campaign against Idlib countryside that the regime forces launched last October. .

While the regime said through its media that it has opened safe crossings for the exit of the people from Idlib countryside to the areas of its control, and this is what the opposition denied, saying that the regime is trying to show a polished image of it while killing the Syrians.

Constant suffering
The regime's operations were not limited to the Idlib countryside only, but also to the western countryside of Aleppo extensively to increase the number of victims and the displaced, and the "response coordinators" team said that 84 people have been killed since Russia and Turkey announced an agreement to cease fire in Idlib.

The team has also counted more than 70,000 IDPs from Idlib and Aleppo countryside since the announcement of the ceasefire, and the opposition says that the regime and Russia have violated the agreement like other agreements by striking them with air strikes that have not stopped targeting cities, vital installations and the displaced.

The response coordinators team said through a statement that "the repeated use of military force by the regime, Russia and Iran highlights the lack of seriousness of those parties in adhering to the Idlib agreement, which contributed to the displacement of tens of thousands of children, women and the elderly." We demand the international community and all International organizations assume their responsibilities towards civilians in the northwestern regions of Syria. "

Local deficit
Activists argue that the large displacement movement to the northern countryside of Aleppo, which is under the control of the National Army, has become more complicated because the region is of a rural nature and its cities and towns are relatively small, which caused great overpopulation, but there is no other option for the displaced, either to escape the bombing or the battles.

Munther Sallal, head of the Stabilization Committee, said, "The northern countryside of Aleppo does not bear the numbers of displaced people coming to it because of the poor infrastructure and the lack of large residential buildings."

"Local organizations are not able to meet the needs of the displaced, and even individual initiatives from the people are unable to meet these demands," Sallal added.

Displacement remains in the Syrian north, the biggest dilemma, so there is no escape for the displaced people except the regime areas or the areas controlled by the Kurdish units or leaving Syria, and this is why the people see that they are trapped and that the regime seeks to push them into a small area as a punishment for opposing its rule.
