From disability to displacing, stories that do not see the light

ASMAHAN OMAR-MOHEMMED AL_ARAB/AL_TABQA

Over the course of seven years of the Syrian crisis, during which many disabilities were born, whether natural or from the battles that took place.

Al-Tuwehina camp, which lies below the poverty line on the right bank of Euphrates River, more than 2200 families are residing in. Each family has its story full of pain, abandonment and despair from organizations that do not give them nearly what satisfies their stomach for half a day, let alone the darkness that swept this family.

Amina al-Jabla is one of the displaced women of the Syrian regime's militias in the eastern countryside of Hama, the wife of a blind man and the mother of four children who have not seen the light since they left their mother's womb, that is fed up with poverty.

Before her departure from her village, her relatives were helping her to support her family and her husband. According to Amina al-Jabla, (ANHA) interviewed with her that she had been displaced with her children and husband from her village for almost 7 months, to escape Islamic State's gangs crimes and the harassment of the forces loyal to the Syrian regime and headed toward areas liberated by (SDF) fighters searching for a safe shelter, hoping to extend a helping hand by relief and medical organizations to treat her children, the oldest is 8 years old and the youngest did not complete the year.

Al-Jabla talked saying "Our situation is getting worse since we left our country and we receive a food basket like the rest. No one looked at us from a humanitarian eye. I was the only one who supported my family. I have additional requirements, regardless of my husband and children's ongoing medicines. They give us money that is not sufficient for half a day.

"We have not been provided anything by humanitarian organizations with regard to my children and she knows my situation and we are now living on Zakat al-Fatr in Ramadan month, many good people, but not enough for one day."

As al-Jabla pointed out, there is hope for the treatment of her children, which cost them high and expensive costs beyond their financial capacity. In this context, she appealed to the humanitarian organizations and all those who hear her call to contribute to the treatment of her children so that they may see the light and help them in the face of life's hardships which increase while their chances of recovery decrease as they grow older.

For his part, Mohammed Bakhlan, Amina’s husband, called for the treatment of his children which he perceives as a dream. He does not want his children to face the difficulties he faced.
