5 Ways You Can Help The People Of Aleppo
You’ve been living under a rock if you’re not aware of the moral crisis that Syria is currently facing. It is really difficult to imagine that while we go about our daily lives and crib about not having the perfect hair day, there are people on the same planet barely trying to survive. Going by the live tweets and videos that residents of Aleppo — the Syrian city that is virtually on the verge of extinction — are putting up, the situation only seems to be getting worse as the days go by. ISIS has almost taken over completely, and the Syrian army is finding it really difficult to fight back. So much so that eve hospitals have been bombed and razed to the ground. It is a civilian genocide, and it is very real.
