URGENT: Hundreds of our humanitarian friends and colleagues
are facing summary execution, disappearance, and torture right at this moment
in besieged Aleppo and we need to take urgent action to secure safe passage
for them and the remaining 100,000 civilians. |
This is the call that teachers, medical workers, and the White
Helmets put out yesterday to the international community to implement the UN’s evacuation plan. We have almost no time so
please act immediately and call the Department of Foreign
Affairs and the Russian Embassy in Dublin (numbers below) to
demand safe evacuation for people trapped in besieged Aleppo.
Please email us back and let us know what they say. Thank you.
The Syria Campaign
The bombs are falling as we write this. For years our
humanitarian volunteers have worked to save the lives of our people in Aleppo:
operating in underground hospitals, rescuing entire families buried under
the rubble and risking our lives to document what the daily war crimes
committed by Assad regime and its ally Russia. We can do no more.
Now we are with 100,000 civilians trapped in an area of five
square kilometres with non-stop bombs, shells and
advancements on the ground. In one building more than 500 people are
sheltering. People have been underground for days.
We are calling on the international community to provide a safe passage out
of Aleppo for the remaining 100,000 people. We know that the UN has a plan
to get us out across the four kilometres of
Western Aleppo to safety: with a few dozen buses and lorries we could all
be evacuated in twenty four hours. However, we need the international
community to guarantee the safety of their workers and our own.
CALL THE DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND THE RUSSIAN
EMBASSY RIGHT NOW TO DEMAND SAFE PASSAGE.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs: + 353 (0) 1 408 2000 and Russian Embassy: +353 (0) 1

If we stay we fear for our lives. The women may be taken to
camps, the men disappeared and anyone who is known to have supported
civilians will face detention or execution. We’ve watched thousands of our boys and mens be detained. Countless White Helmets, doctors,
nurses and humanitarians have been targeted and killed in the regime’s cruel assault on Aleppo. The regime has been
trying to kill us for five years. Please don’t give them this chance.
We can not believe that the world’s most powerful countries cannot get 100,000
souls four kilometers to safety.
CALL THE DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND THE RUSSIAN
EMBASSY RIGHT NOW TO DEMAND SAFE PASSAGE.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs: + 353 (0) 1 408 2000 and Russian Embassy: +353 (0) 1
