This is an e-mail received from a friend in Syria. I have deleted a few pieces of the letter to protect his identity. Please see and share the truth about what is happening in Syria.

Dear beloved family

Now I am in Aleppo. As you know that for the last 8 weeks we did not have any access to our emails since there was no net connection, or functioning mobiles or even land lines. But now it seems that it is getting much better but not as it used to be! So, I am so glad that my email account is back to normal after 2 months of stopage and been unable to receive or send any emails.

I am back to my clinic and church serving my Lord and nation and more than 3000 needy families.

Coming back to the situation here in Aleppo which is getting worse and sometimes untolerable.

Most of the doctors are out of the country. Lack of docotrs. The armed rebels and terrorists are attacking the hospitals, schools, medical centers and bakaries.

Just last night 26th Sep, a bomb been dropped and exploded in a heavely crowded Christian area near to my mother's house, resulting in 6 deaths (a mother with her little child and 4 adult males) and 14 severly wounded and many are in serious unconsiouce status. Wow. Who can stop this baberian rebels. Many are from Pakistan 2000 , Afghanestan 600, Tukey in hundreds, Lybia in thousands, Egypt, SUdan, Somalia, Britain 200, Canada 25 and so on. Just mention them.

In spite that the medical needs are getting very high but we try to support the families according to their social categories as follow: Widows, families with children, handicapped ones, sick ones, husbands in prison, poor families, IDPs inside Aleppo, people who has lost their houses and had some damages and so on.

The situation here sometimes are untolerable. You can't predect what will happen after few minutes. We are living in an unpredectable situation. No work or jobs for the last 2-3 months. More than 5435 factories been closed down and attacked by armed rebles which were supporting more than 240,000 - 250,000 persons of Aleppo. More than 840 goldsmith-workshops been closed down for security reasons. What to say more. Sometimes I become speechless and my words can't paint the exact situation. But I am sure that we are kept in His hands.

In many places there is no water or elctricity. Food is getting very expensive. Some times it is exceeding 3-4 times of its regular price or cost. The security level is getting very low. No police offices functioning. Most of the governmental offices been attacked to the extend that most of people are unable to get their passports to travel outside.

The Christian society is protected by the Syrian Army, but the rebels are sending their rockets and bombs which are affecting our houses and buildings.

Plz keep us lifted up unto His throne.

Be in touch

Lord's grace
