[00:00:00] It is included with us, meaning we are not in
[00:00:02] an insurance program. Um, there are no subscriptions,
[00:00:06] for example, from the farmer, but rather it is according to the available
[00:00:09] capabilities of the fund. It is possible to raise the amounts
[00:00:13] of compensation, and it is possible to reduce them. We, at the beginning
[00:00:15] of liberation,
[00:00:19] the fall of the former regime, the percentages ranged between 5%
[00:00:23] and 10%. Um, by a directive from the Minister of Agriculture,
[00:00:28] Mazen, displaced from it was raised and approved by the council to raise it between
[00:00:30] 10% and 20%. So, effectively,
[00:00:34] we are trying to cover the largest number of farmers
[00:00:36] and we are trying, as much as possible, to compensate our
[00:00:39] fellow farmers so that they remain within the agricultural production circle
[00:00:43] and do not leave the production circle.
[00:00:46] reading of the reality Is there any other support that will be provided to farmers apart from these
[00:00:50] compensations?
[00:00:52] These compensations are from the fund for mitigating the effects of drought and natural disasters.
[00:00:56] It is a fund
[00:00:58] Marwa. First, that compensates fellow farmers on the condition of a natural
[00:01:01] disaster occurring. Uh-huh. I saw on social
[00:01:05] media that there were questions about fires. Fires
[00:01:09] are not a natural disaster, but rather they are caused by
[00:01:12] an actor and are not a natural disaster, meaning
[00:01:16] they are not classified as natural disasters. As for the support
[00:01:19] provided by the Ministry of Agriculture, it will, of course,
[00:01:23] support wheat seeds this year, God willing,
[00:01:25] with a large amount
[00:01:29] by providing seeds through the Public Corporation for more seeds for
[00:01:32] fellow farmers at
[00:01:35] encouraging prices, God willing. We are
[00:01:38] trying to restore the agricultural sector to its former
[00:01:41] glory and luster, as it always was. Uh-huh.
[00:01:46] with closure. Uh-huh. How many What is the next plan for the ministry
[00:01:50] regarding support? Yes.
[00:01:53] Of course, as you know, previously, the Al-Qard Al-Hassan (Good Loan) project was launched
[00:01:57] last year. Farmers were given
[00:02:00] seeds and fertilizers
[00:02:03] for the entire wheat crop in
[00:02:06] the last season. The Ministry of Agriculture is currently
[00:02:10] working on approving a new Al-Qard Al-Hassan project
[00:02:13] to compensate to help fellow farmers
[00:02:17] carry out these tasks. It is still under study, God willing.
[00:02:20] The specialists will see
[00:02:23] the repercussions of it and its approval or rejection. Thank
[00:02:26] you very much, Dr. Muhammad Sayleen, Director of Agricultural Production Support from
[00:02:30] Damascus. Thank you very much. God
[00:02:33] bless you.
[00:02:43] The Amal Step Center in Idlib faces the risk
[00:02:47] of closure due to a lack of necessary support
[00:02:50] to ensure its continued provision of educational
[00:02:53] and rehabilitation services to more than 200
[00:02:56] male and female students with disabilities.
[00:03:02] convoy is the seventh
[00:03:06] Of course, the most important problems our center
[00:03:09] last year to return them to their homes Aleppo, from suffers from are the problems of a complete lack of support
[00:03:12] for this place. Our place was established through individual
[00:03:16] efforts, relying on male
[00:03:18] TV Radio on and female volunteers from various specializations who provided their services
[00:03:21] to these children. We came together with one heart
[00:03:25] can this center and one goal: that a child with special needs is capable of making miracles.
[00:03:29] Of course, the importance of our place is that it is the first place
[00:03:34] that humanitarian in northern Syria or in Idlib that provides educational services.
[00:03:36] Our services are affiliated with the Ministry of Education. The child
[00:03:42] simple people who with Down syndrome needs a school that cares for him, a humane place that truly cares for him. Every day
[00:03:45] we have new registrations, especially since there is a major closure
[00:03:49] of centers for people with special needs and great pressure on these
[00:03:52] centers due to the complete lack of this support. Approximately
[00:03:56] 250 children of various conditions, children with Down syndrome,
[00:04:00] children with special needs.
[00:04:02] it is a demographic characteristic Orphans are provided with education, rehabilitation, inclusion, physical
[00:04:05] therapy, and all special services. And now they are waiting for
[00:04:09] any conscientious person
[00:04:10] to take initiative
[00:04:16] towards them. You came as an orphan.
[00:04:20] My mom told me when
[00:04:23] reading of the reality I was little that I can't feel the oven. And then it became
[00:04:27] like this. Then
[00:04:30] at the time of treatment, at seven months until now,
[00:04:34] I am treating him at school, and my mother
[00:04:37] does the treatment at home.
[00:04:40] I don't want the school to close
[00:04:43] because so that
[00:04:46] other schools don't beat me
[00:04:50] and make fun of me
[00:04:53] and beat me normally, and I
[00:04:58] identity to ensure their don't want my friends and the rest of my friends. I don't want them to be expelled from school.
[00:05:12] It is not right for a child with a disability to find
[00:05:16] a place to learn or a space to help him
[00:05:19] discover his abilities, but rather it is a right that should be
[00:05:23] available to him. And in a country where years of war
[00:05:27] have left many children with amputated limbs,
[00:05:30] in addition to other groups that need special
[00:05:34] care and rehabilitation, the need for
[00:05:37] centers that open their doors to them and give them
[00:05:41] opportunities for education and integration,
[00:05:44] away from the obstacles that their circumstances
[00:05:48] or society's view of them may impose, seems greater. So, to what
[00:05:51] extent are these opportunities available in Syria,
[00:05:55] and what do these children need to be an active part of
[00:05:58] society? To talk more about this topic, we are joined
[00:06:02] by Marwa Suleiman Awad, Director of the Amal
[00:06:05] Step Center from Idlib. Welcome to us, Ms.
[00:06:11] who is responsible for supporting this center?
[00:06:14] Hello, Ms. Catherine, thank you very much for your interaction on this topic,
[00:06:18] as it has a very positive effect on the souls of children.
[00:06:21] In the beginning, the efforts were individual when we established the place in
[00:06:25] 2020/2021. We started with individual efforts, and then there was local
[00:06:29] encouragement for such
[00:06:33] initiatives. And today, support still comes from
[00:06:36] individual efforts. Now, individual efforts and philanthropists,
[00:06:40] but after the liberation or liberation, we faced
[00:06:43] major problems in this regard. There was an almost
[00:06:47] complete cessation. They considered that Syria had recovered and that
[00:06:50] there was no longer any need to donate to these children.
[00:06:54] So, there was almost a cessation, and now we are threatened
[00:06:58] male and female students are in this center? We don't have
[00:07:02] an accurate statistic because almost all the centers
[00:07:06] around us or that were established have closed. So,
[00:07:08] currently, the numbers we have are 250
[00:07:12] to 260 children on a daily basis. We don't have
[00:07:16] registrations. Uh-huh. Are there other centers
[00:07:19] that care for children with disabilities in
[00:07:22] Syria for free? Now, within Idlib city,
[00:07:25] I don't know about outside Idlib city, but within Idlib city, we have
[00:07:29] one center, and that center charges fees. There are no free
[00:07:33] centers at all. Uh-huh. What services does the center
[00:07:37] provide? The services are comprehensive
[00:07:40] for the child's needs: educational services (formal and informal),
[00:07:44] physical therapy, psychological support,
[00:07:47] as well as motor and psychological rehabilitation for the child.
[00:07:50] And all these services are completely free.
[00:07:53] What are the conditions that must be met, or the conditions
[00:07:57] available in the center for these children to be registered?
[00:08:00] As long as the child has a disability,
[00:08:04] they are considered accepted by us. However, we have one
[00:08:07] problem, which is children with hyperactivity or attention
[00:08:10] deficit. We have a problem combining children with attention
[00:08:14] deficit and hyperactivity with paralysis, as this harms the child unintentionally.
[00:08:18] We do not have these programs.
[00:08:21] Do you have specialized staff to deal with
[00:08:24] these children? All our staff are psychologically,
[00:08:27] educationally, and academically qualified
[00:08:31] to deal with this segment of children.
[00:08:34] To what extent
[00:08:38] continue to operate without funding?
[00:08:42] They will hear the children's voices. We have launched many appeals.
[00:08:46] I have appeared with you before in a report about the same
[00:08:49] issue, and I told them that when we make reports,
[00:08:53] we memorize what we say. We need a thousand voices to reach
[00:08:57] these children and one conscience to hear them. So we need to convey the voices of these
[00:09:00] children to the concerned authorities, whether organizations,
[00:09:04] supporters, philanthropists, or anyone. It is essential for the children
[00:09:07] to continue. We have a real societal problem here.
[00:09:10] When parents bring their children, they are more tired
[00:09:14] than their children. So, we are facing a real problem,
[00:09:17] both for parents and
[00:09:20] children. You mentioned
[00:09:23] that you had previously appealed about the same issue
[00:09:26] through Syria TV. Did
[00:09:30] support continue during that period?
[00:09:34] There was support from associations, but it was quarterly,
[00:09:37] meaning this support was not sufficient or complete. It could cover
[00:09:41] quarterly staff salaries,
[00:09:44] but complete support for this place has not happened yet.
[00:09:48] Well, have you resorted to, for example, ministries
[00:09:52] or Idlib Governorate for help? We tried with everyone,
[00:09:55] but God willing, the children
[00:09:58] did not get their share. And we knocked on the doors of organizations,
[00:10:01] and the answer was clear: there is no support
[00:10:04] or we don't have funding. We wish
[00:10:08] you continued success and that your voice reaches. Thank you very much, Marwa Suleiman
[00:10:25] Awad, Director With the approach of winter,
[00:10:29] the needs of the displaced from Suweida residing in one of
[00:10:32] the shelters in the eastern countryside of Daraa are exacerbated due to the lack
[00:10:36] of heating supplies, food and medical materials,
[00:10:39] and the scarcity of aid provided by government agencies
[00:10:43] and humanitarian organizations, which places families before
[00:10:45] increasing living challenges
[00:10:47] with falling temperatures.
[00:10:53] Suweida, tries to repair his modest tent
[00:10:56] that shelters him with his family,
[00:11:00] preparing for winter. In our shelter center
[00:11:03] in the eastern countryside of Daraa, which includes about 50
[00:11:07] families, the displaced suffer from a lack of mattresses,
[00:11:09] blankets, and shelter materials,
[00:11:13] as well as the high prices of fuel We are at a critical time,
[00:11:17] especially now, with winter approaching. We lack
[00:11:20] heating and clothes.
[00:11:24] We lack blankets,
[00:11:27] clothes, and tarpaulins. If
[00:11:31] I want to put a tarpaulin on the tent, I can't get tarpaulins for the firewood.
[00:11:34] I mean, you saw the fire. If there's a fire, we have nothing
[00:11:38] but to pick up plastic bags and garbage to make
[00:11:42] a cooking pot or make a cup of tea
[00:11:45] on it. Families in the center are distributed
[00:11:49] between tents and a building that is not adequately prepared
[00:11:53] for residence. The displaced also complain of a severe shortage of
[00:11:56] food and medical supplies, in light
[00:12:00] of the weak response of the government and humanitarian organizations
[00:12:03] to their needs, as they say.
[00:12:07] My husband is disabled. Even my grandchildren
[00:12:09] are minors. I have no
[00:12:12] supporter. There is no financial liquidity. Organizations
[00:12:15] come, take records, and then they leave
[00:12:18] and no one comes back to us. No financial
[00:12:21] aid. I mean, the aid that
[00:12:25] is enough for the house or enough for the family.
[00:12:27] Medical organizations no longer
[00:12:30] visit us. As for winter,
[00:12:33] we don't have heating oil. Last year, we received
[00:12:36] heating oil in April, after winter
[00:12:39] ended. The displaced from Suweida
[00:12:42] residing in this center hope that their suffering
[00:12:45] will receive attention through a rapid response
[00:12:49] from the government and humanitarian organizations
[00:12:52] that will contribute to alleviating their burdens
[00:12:55] and helping them
[00:12:57] face winter.
[00:12:59] We continue with you in Ain Syria, and after
[00:13:02] the break,
[00:13:05] traditional blacksmithing in Aleppo, a heritage craft that maintains
[00:13:08] its presence despite the development of industries.
[00:13:25] Syria Radio is with you wherever you are. From
[00:16:40] Your origin is not Arab, you are remnants, you are Turks,
[00:16:44] you are remnants. Therefore, neither my uncle, nor my grandfather,
[00:16:47] nor my father participated in political life, which lasted only two
[00:16:50] years. The storyteller in
[00:16:53] Damascus is not really a profession,
[00:16:57] it is a demographic characteristic and part of the historian's spontaneous Damascus
[00:17:01] nature. The ordinary man was a barber
[00:17:05] and a storyteller, telling what he heard and recording
[00:17:08] it in colloquial dialect. When Hafez al-Assad carried
[00:17:12] out his coup, called the Corrective Movement
[00:17:15] on November 16, 1970, they wrote for him
[00:17:18] at the entrance of Al-Hamidiyah Souk: "We asked God for help, and He sent
[00:17:22] us Hafez al-Assad," meaning this is the one who will protect us from
[00:17:26] this communist tide. But this is a very harsh judgment. Avshalom Feinberg
[00:17:29] has a strange story I read when I was a child.
[00:17:33] He died, and they say he had date pits
[00:17:36] in his pocket. No one found his body,
[00:17:39] and the wind buried the body. With time,
[00:17:42] a date palm tree grew from the date pits
[00:17:45] in his pocket. They actually buried him under the palm
[00:17:49] tree, and he became a national hero among the Jews. His famous book,
[00:17:53] The Seven Pillars
[00:17:55] of Wisdom, to whom is it dedicated?
[00:17:59] To S.A. I led a group of
[00:18:02] courageous men to achieve your dream of
[00:18:04] a national homeland
[00:18:24] for you. A convoy of 372
[00:18:28] families set off from the shelter centers
[00:18:31] and camps in Hasakah towards their original villages
[00:18:34] and towns in the countryside of Ras al-Ayn. The current
[00:18:39] for the displaced of Ras al-Ayn residing in Hasakah, as the first
[00:18:43] convoys began in August
[00:19:00] after years of displacement. Returning to the devastated area,
[00:19:04] demolished homes, no
[00:19:08] proper infrastructure. We hope
[00:19:11] organizations will contribute to providing
[00:19:15] aid to these poor,
[00:19:19] have nothing but God's mercy to help
[00:19:23] them and provide them with aid, even if it only alleviates
[00:19:26] their suffering a little and brings a smile and joy
[00:19:30] to their children. In the end, we thank
[00:19:34] all parties that contributed
[00:19:38] to this return and hope that it
[00:19:40] will continue until
[00:19:42] the end of the displacement camps.
[00:19:46] Minister of Social Affairs Hind Qabwat said
[00:19:50] that the proposal to grant citizenship to children of Syrian
[00:19:54] women married to non-Syrians has reached the approval
[00:19:57] stage, stressing the work on legal
[00:20:00] and administrative reforms to address the issues of
[00:20:03] identity documents for children and empower mothers
[00:20:07] to grant their children the right to belong to their homeland.
[00:20:11] Qabwat explained that the absence of legal
[00:20:14] documents exacerbates the risks of statelessness
[00:20:17] and marginalization of children, especially in cases of displacement
[00:20:21] and the father's absence, noting the lack of complete
[00:20:24] statistics so far on the number of affected
[00:20:27] children, and reiterating the welcome of the return
[00:20:30] of the Kurds whom the overthrown regime deprived of their
[00:20:35] rights, while emphasizing shared responsibility
[00:20:39] towards the children who were
[00:20:40] in Al-Hol
[00:23:04] concludes this episode of Ain Syria. Thank
[00:23:19] you for watching, and goodbye.
[00:24:34] You are not Arabs, you are remnants. You are Turks,
