This report focuses on the humanitarian aspect of the Syria crisis and IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation’s relief activities in the region and in Syria since the crisis started in 2011 up until today. As the number of people affected by the crisis increases each day and as violence escalates, this causes for irrecoverable wounds to form in individuals and in the society, which renders efforts difficult. This report was prepared with the desire to actuate national and international communities in order to ameliorate the condition of the Syrian public with our efforts and to aid in improving the current situation in Syria. 2 IHH Syria Activity Report | Humanitarian Aspect of the Syria Crisis | Background of the Crisis Humanitarian Aspect of the Syria Crisis Background of the Crisis The Ba’ath Party carried out a coup d’état in 1963 and declared a state of emergency where the Assad family has governed Syria since 1970 onward. Syria’s Muslim Brotherhood started a struggle against Syria’s single voice, Hafez al-Assad, which came to be the period’s largest opposition movement. Hafez al-Assad, taking tough measures against the opposition’s struggle for freedom, killed about 50,000 people by referring to barbaric means in 1982 and another approximate 20,000 casualties in what became to be the Hama Massacre. The Massacres took place in Tadmur, Aleppo, Raqqah and many other cities where civilians were targeted and their demands for freedom were suppressed for years. The Syrian public has struggled against oppression, suppression, corruption and poverty for well-over 50 years; they are yet again exposed to another struggle. In Daraa in March of 2011, 15 children whose ages range from 9 to 15 and who are all from the same family were taken captive and tortured because of a slogan they wrote on the school wall; in the following days, when relatives of the children took to the streets to protest the situation, they were exposed to violence by law enforcement officers. Following these events, mass demonstrations in Idlib, Aleppo, Hama, Homs, Baniyas and Latakia and in various other cities had begun which resulted in a nationwide resistance. Since March of 2011, a six-month long period began where peaceful demonstrations took place after Friday prayers, demanding reform in Syria; these reforms were demanded in order to provide an environment with greater freedom. With the escalation in protests and demonstrations, Bashar al-Assad announced to the world in two different speeches in parliament, located in Damascus, in March and April of 2011, that he would undertake reforms in various fields with the hopes and ambitions to allow for the establishment of organizations and political parties as well as union 3 Well-over 12,500 refugees are currently living in Aleppo’s Bab al-Noor Refugee Camp containing 1,600 tents. rights, elections with greater freedom, provision of social justice and the protection of rights of various ethnic groups living in Syria such as Kurds, Arabs and Turkmens. However, this was not the case as he did not keep his words and on the contrary, in an attempt to suppress the opposition, he used live ammunition and killed hundreds of people in Daraa within the first four months. Relatives of the deceased and captives have lost all hope that Bashar al-Assad will change his policies and the idea of a rebellion as opposed peaceful protests was adopted. Civil war had begun and events had changed from July of 2011 onward with soldiers fleeing the Syrian army and joining the ranks of the opposition as well as the arming of the general public in an attempt to protect themselves against regime forces. Assad forces have been killing innocent women, children and elderly citizens with air strikes and ground assaults since the beginning of the war; they are also committing crimes against humanity by using chemical weapons. In a chemical attack carried out by regime forces on the 21st of August 2013, well-over 1,300 civilians, most of which were women and children, were killed in Damascus’ Eastern Rural of Ghouta. Regime forces are currently continuing to kill civilians with the use of barrel bombs. In this process, the international community has failed to perform any expected interventions; the opening of a humanitarian corridor to help Syrian civilians was also failed. The Arab League Peace Plan had failed to come up with a solution for the crisis in Assad forces have been Syria and the issue was killing innocent women, then taken to the United children and elderly citizens Nations. The United with air strikes and ground Nation’s priority goals assaults since the beginning were to ensure ceasefire of the war; they are also between the two sides and committing crimes against a transitional government, humanity by using chemical however, with the weapons. defiance of the regime and ongoing military operations, the problems were further deepened for the Syrian people. 4 IHH Syria Activity Report | Humanitarian Aspect of the Syria Crisis | Geneva Process Geneva process In a conference in Geneva on the 30th of June 2012, the Geneva I Communiqué was accepted. The communiqué’s goal was to resolve the crisis in Syria. Permanent members of the UN Security Council, England, United States of America, Russia, China and France attended the conference as well as foreign affairs ministers from Turkey, Iraq, Kuwait, and Qatar alongside US foreign affairs and high-representative for security and UN Secretary-General. It was agreed to establish a transitional government in Syria within the scope of the conference, however, it was left unclear as to whether or not Bashar al-Assad would continue to govern the country. The Syrian government was warned to put an end to the violence and to the human 5 rights violations. The second meeting with the name of Geneva II took place after a long hiatus in January of 2014. The failure to achieve a consensus on who the actors would be along with the disarray between opposition groups resulted in the meeting being delayed and the first two rounds of talks ended in failure. Even though humanitarian aid delivered to Homs and other regions was added into negotiations in the framework was seen as success, this was not the case as military strikes against UN officials in Homs and the failure to ensure the security of transport to other regions was taken into hand before leaving the negotiation table and it was this that adversely affected the meeting. Abdullah, from Aleppo, is a father of five. After a barrel bomb attack on his home in Aleppo, he lost his wife and two children; his house was also rendered unusable. Abdullah now lives in a refugee camp by the name of al-Ata Tent City established by IHH in the al-Karamah region of Syria. 6 IHH Syria Activity Report | Humanitarian Aspect of the Syria Crisis | Syrian Refugees Syrian Refugees Since the beginning of the crisis in Syria in 2011, millions of people have been forced to leave their home and found refuge in safe countries. However they are faced with various other troubles in countries which they seek shelter. Asylum seekers, refugees and immigrants who were forced to leave their countries were entitled protection by international communities in the countries where they took refuge. Because the refugees are vulnerable, they are in need of humanitarian and legal aid.
