Rana Abeed, a one- year old child who has died,
In Mo’adamiyat Al Sham in Damascus Suburbs,
she has not been killed by the regime’s missiles or its explosive barrels,
or its thugs’ knives, or its chemical weapons,
but from hunger assisted by the regime’s checkpoints,
that imposed a tight siege on the city,
why would hunger’s ghost wrap its arms around Al Mo’adameya and kill 6 children in one week?
why has the regime’s army failed to storm it for 10 months?
while it controls two thirds of its lands?
it has killed and displaced 20 thousand inhabitants of the region,
the city that witnessed a number of massacres, the latest of which was the chemical massacre,
is a small example about the Syrian revolution in all its dimensions,
its residents protested peacefully,
lifting signs that disturbed the regime and its thugs,
the Free Syrian Army was not found there until the freedom screams were met with live bullets,
and peaceful protests were met with invasions, detainment, and torture,
being located close to the Damascus and Mazzeh Airports, the Fourth Squad Headquarters and the National Guards Housings,
answers a number of questions pertaining to its fierce shelling,
and the continuous storming attempts,
to keep FSA’s resistance in the city a mystery.
The residents say that they are unable to get one pound of flour, not mentioning bullets or rifles,
they say that they reached a point where they started to eat leaves ,
no water, or flour or baby formula,
ten months of siege are enough to deplete their food.
“By God we don’t have anything but rice and bulgur. We don’t have anything,
we only have these olives,
we eat olives for breakfast, dinner and lunch.”
Missile launchers were enough to destroy their fields,
keeping silent about their suffering will undoubtedly lead to a great humanitarian disaster,
where hundreds will die by the knife of hunger , slaughtered without blood.
