Despite the end of the Civil War, which lasted almost 14 years, many Syrians who are forced to leave their homes due to bombing of the army of the overthrown regime of Bashar Assad and his allies were able to return to normal life.
For 14 years of bloody conflict in Syria, hundreds of thousands of civilians were forced to move within the country due to bombing from the overthrown of Assad and its supporters.
In the camps for immigrants in the ATMA area in Idlib, located near the Syrian-Turkish border, about 2 million people continue to live.
For most of them, the return to their native places remains an unattainable dream- their villages are destroyed, the fields are mined, and the restoration of housing requires large financial costs.
This year, hundreds of families against the backdrop of the fall of the Assad regime meet Ramazan in poverty, without a festive bustle and far from their destroyed houses.
According to the Office for Coordination of Response measures in Syria, over the past three months about 120 thousand people left the camps and moved to various provinces of Syria.
However, return to their native places is associated with serious difficulties.
Ramazan no longer brings joy
The migrant Abdulhamid Muhammad, who in 2019 was forced to leave his hometown of Abu Zuhur in the province of Idlib, said that, despite the change of power, he could not return home.
“We have been living in the camps for several years. We have no means to prepare for Ramazan. The joy of this month no longer concerns us. Prices are constantly growing, and we cannot afford even the most necessary,” Muhammad will say.
Even if we return, you have to take tents with you
Menar South South, the mother of five children, has been living in a camp for migrants for 5 years now. She admits that she does not have the opportunity to buy even the most basic products for Ramazan.
“If we had money, we would buy everything we need. But the prices are very high and our position does not change. We cannot return home because our houses are destroyed. If we return, we still have to take tents with us,” said Syrian.
Menar South Summer hopes that in the Holy month there will be philanthropists who are ready to help them.
Even bread has to borrow
Another camp of the camp, Fatma Ahras, complains that it becomes more and more complicated to buy products on debt.
“We need products and items of first necessity. We want to meet Ramazan with dignity,” Ahras addressed the charitable.
