There
is a humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Syria and the "western"
media ignore it
On December
22 al-Qaeda aligned Takfiris in the Wadi Barada valley shut down the
main water supply for the Syrian capital Damascus. Since then the
city and some 5-6 million living in and around it have to survive on
emergency water distributions by the Syrian government. That is
barely enough for people to drink - no washing, no showers and no
water dependent production is possible.
This shut
down is part of a wider, seemingly coordinated strategy to deprive
all government held areas of utility supplies. Two days ago the
Islamic State shut down a major water intake for Aleppo from the
Euphrates. High voltage electricity masts on lines feeding Damascus
have been destroyed and repair teams, unlike before, denied access.
Gas supplies to parts of Damascus are also cut. A similar tactic was
used by the Zionist terrorists of the Haganah who in 1947/48 poisoned
and blew up the water mains and oil pipelines to Palestinian Haifa.
Wadi Barada
is a river valley some 10 miles west of Damascus at the mountain
range between Lebanon and Syria. It has been in the hands of local
insurgents since 2012. The area was since loosely surrounded by
Syrian government forces and their allies from Hizbullah.
