Jan Egeland told the BBC the failure to persuade the Syrian government, their ally, to allow desperately ill children to be evacuated from the Eastern Ghouta showed “complete impotence”. Even though countries don’t get along the best, they still should have enough heart to help the desperately ill children. Punishing people who don’t have a choice yet on who they associate with shouldn’t get blamed for it. Multiple civilians are dying awaiting permission to leave that part of the country. Dozens of civilians are also reported to have been killed in air and artillery attacks by government forces in the past month, though a ceasefire is now in place. Clearly, there is a lot of unnecessary deaths going on in this certain part of the world and it really needs to be stopped as soon as humanly possible. I do not believe in all this unnecessary violence. On top of all this madness, there is a food shortage. Food shortages are also causing deaths and other problems throughout the country. Also, Limited electricity, fuel, safe drinking-water and basic sanitation services are meanwhile increasing the risk of outbreaks of various diseases. With all these tragic events, theres not much a local can do with the type of government they have. The people have no say in what happens.
