New beginning in Syria: Caritas hopes for help after Assad-Sturz!

After the long-time Syrian ruler Bashar al-Assad has been overthrown, the aid organization Caritas International from Freiburg is optimistic. This turn could pave the way for more extensive humanitarian aid in Syria. Caritas International emphasizes that there is an enormous need, especially in the Idlib region. Many domestic people live here under catastrophic conditions, as Oliver Müller, the head of the organization, reports. The protection of human rights and the security of the civilian population are essential for future aid measures, while over 15 million people in Syria are urgently dependent on support, according to the organization.

The aid organization calls on the international community to take the opportunity to promote Syria's reconstruction. In addition to the emergency aid for survival, the reconstruction of water and electricity networks as well as housing projects are of great importance. Caritas International sees positive perspectives for access to all the regions of Syria in order to expand the urgently needed help and heal the wounds of years of war.

The organization helped 7.4 million people in crisis regions worldwide last year with financial support of a total of 110 million euros, including in Ukraine and in the Gaza Strip. With this support, the aim is to improve the living conditions of the Syrian families by providing them with basic goods such as food, hygiene articles and ceilings, as well as kathpress reported. However, in order to increase the efficiency of the auxiliary measures, Caritas appeals internationally to rethink existing sanctions and enable faster and secure banking transfers for non-profit organizations.

Overall, the organization examines the opportunity to expand its humanitarian actions, especially in the seriously affected areas of Aleppo, Hassakeh, Homs, Idlib, Latakia and Damascus, such as Investment Week . The situation remains tense, but hope for a fresh start for so many vulnerable people is tangible.
