The Plight of Syria

This essay attempts to show the calamitous living conditions of Syrian civilians in Aleppo and the Idlib countryside. The Syrian civil war has now completed its fourth year and the same scenario I encountered two years ago has only gotten worst. The population still suffers the threat of indiscriminate bombings carried out by Syrian army planes, they still struggle to find the most basic provisions, health care is scarce if available at all, and all basic services like water, electricity and waste management are still cut, the only difference is that the country is even more isolated with the advent of the Islamic State.
