B/fwd ~It's not Aesthetic ...... but then It's not Humane either. See below

B/fwd from 2013......

 

I don't fully understand why ..but this, as a human, is the most embarrassing situation of my life ... as part of humankind.

 

Maybe it is because we saw so much footage yet were doing ' nothing ' ...... even though there is drought, starvation, war, trafficking and children dying from no meds... somehow this is different for me... I don't know why.

There is an inertia whilst it all takes place... we don't fight, we don't help.... at least not enough........... It is all so wrong ..the news becoming just as though another advertisement for the norm..the everyday, the grocery shop ... so bad .

 

I am going to contact someone out there and see what, if anything I can do...

Yet even with some small amount of money in their pocket they will need it to pay someone to help them get away - find a way out - to help their escape onto a route and there is no food to buy..no water to be had....... No protection from the bombing and no safety for the vulnerable... nowhere to stop and bury the dead...... Under stocked refugee settlements ... Countries finding them such a burden.......

 

Yet today I saw a photo of two sisters walking arms around each other's shoulders as they picked their way through one of these settlements to find water. Holding each other... Together .

GENEVA, July 16 (UNHCR) – UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres on Tuesday urged countries against restricting cross-border access for Syrian refugees while warning that immediate measures must be taken to mitigate the enormous risks of spill-over and to stabilize Syria's neighbours.

 

"I reiterate my call to all states, in the region and further afield, to keep borders open and receive all Syrians who seek protection"
