One of the Earthquake’ Survivors in Aleppo Remembers the Bitterness of the Disaster’s First Moments

About 5 months has passed since the catastrophic earthquake that struck the North of the Antiochian Levant, and the survivors in Syria are still suffering from its catastrophic repercussions. This is amidst a wave of various crises, especially economic crisis, that have cast a shadow over the country, as the needs are still dire at various levels.

The Middle East Council of Churches, in its turn, seeks to heal the wounds of the affected and afflicted through the in-kind assistance it provides in order to support them to overcome their ordeal with great hope. In addition, MECC had formed an Ecumenical relief committee with representatives of the Churches in Syria aiming at working on restoring the destroyed houses by the earthquake, thus securing a safe shelter for many families.
