¡Ayudemos a los niños de Siria!

14 septiembre 2015. Melilla. Espa–a Un millar de familias sirias, la mayor’a ni–os, esperan en Nador y Beni Enzar (Marruecos) para poder cruzar a Melilla. La ONG Save the Children exige al Gobierno espa–ol que tome un papel activo en la crisis de refugiados y facilite el acceso de estas familias a travŽs de la expedici—n de visados humanitarios en el consulado espa–ol de Nador. Save the Children ha comprobado adem‡s c—mo muchas de estas familias se han visto forzadas a separarse porque, en el momento del cierre de la frontera, unos miembros se han quedado en un lado o en el otro. Para poder cruzar el control, las mafias se aprovechan de la desesperaci—n de los sirios y les ofrecen pasaportes marroqu’es al precio de 1.000 euros. Diversas familias han explicado a Save the Children c—mo est‡n endeudadas y han tenido que elegir quiŽn pasa primero de sus miembros a Melilla, dejando a otros en Nador. © Save the Children Handout/PEDRO ARMESTRE - No ventas -No Archivos - Uso editorial solamente - Uso libre solamente para 14 d’as despuŽs de liberaci—n.

Hoy el post no va ni de moda ni de cosas bonitas. La imágenes que os mostraremos no son inspiradoras, pero son reales, y pretenden sensibilizarnos sobre el drama que están viviendo las familias sirianas, que ya han soportado más de 6 años de guerra en su país, y huyen por supervivencia de su patria en busca de seguridad. Creo que no podemos ni llegar a imaginar la desgracia que están pasando. Solo de pensar que un día tuviéramos que marchar de nuestra casa con lo puesto, por miedo a que cayera una bomba, subir en una barca plagada de gente con nuestros hijos con miedo a no sobrevivir, se me encoge el corazón. Cada vez que veo un video sobre la guerra en Siria lloro de impotencia. Así que desde Lost in Vogue debemos utilizar la repercusión que esta página tiene, para mostraros de qué manera podemos ayudar. Con todos nuestros granitos de arena, podemos cambiar muchas cosas.

2015/12/05. Mytilene, Lesbos. Grecia.  Three months after the death of Aylan Kurdi, Save the Children remember that the security of the borders can not be above the rights of refugees. Only in Greece, 728,000 refugees have arrived this year, 26% are children. Most small boats have arrived in the Greek island of Lesbos from Turkey. Pedro Armestre / Save the Children.

Asmat*, two, from Afghanistan, plays with his only toy, a plastic guitar in the informal camp in Moria on the Greek island of Lesvos. L  Children often arrive in Europe scared and exhausted.Many have seen and experienced untold horrors during their journey.The physical impact of travelling is also clear. The children our teams have met have had severe sunburns and blisters from their journey. Many have lost their toenails from the huge distances they had walked. Save the Children has worked on these issues for decades and we work along the whole route that refugees take. We work in the countries they are fleeing âÃÂàcountries like Syria, where brutal war has ripped apart the lives of millions. We work in countries en route, like Turkey, Egypt, Greece and Italy âÃÂàmaking sure children are protected wherever possible. We also work in countries like Germany, to ensure that that families understand their rights and have access to care and support.

La manera más fácil con la que podemos ayudar, es realizando una donación. Por pequeña que sea, será de gran ayuda para que las organizaciones no gubernamentales sigan ayudando a los sirianos.

En la página web del El País, hemos encontrado una información que nos es de gran ayuda:

En el caso de los refugiados hay tres instituciones especializadas:

  • ACNUR: La agencia de la ONU para los refugiados. Además de entrar en su web, puedes donar a través de este teléfono 902 218 218.
  • CEAR: La comisión española de ayuda al refugiado.
  • ACCEM: especializada en migrantes y refugiados en situación de exclusión.

Pero, además, sobre el terreno están trabajando otras grandes organizaciones:

  • Cruz Roja
  • Médicos Sin Fronteras
  • MOAS (Estación de ayuda al migrante por mar)
  • UNICEF
  • Programa Mundial de Alimentos de Naciones Unidas: proporciona asistencia alimentaria a más de cuatro millones de sirios dentro del país y a 1,5 millones de refugiados en Líbano, Jordania y Turquía. El apoyo se canaliza a través de tarjetas electrónicas que se recargan mensualmente para que adquieran en comercios locales los alimentos que necesitan.
  • Rescate: ONG que trabaja con las personas refugiadas desde 1960.
  • Save the Children: En su web puedes consultar las acciones específicas que están llevando a cabo para ayudar a los niños que huyen de la guerra.

A child friendly space in Tripoli in Lebanon, run by Save the Children. The activities are held in a two room building with facilitators working closely with the children. Most of the children coming to the centre are refugees from Syria.

Rahaf*, 7, tells her story  to Save the Children âÃÂÃÂI love dad because he kisses me. Sometimes he makes me sad because he sometimes will not allow me to kiss him. I am sad that dad is not playing with me anymore. My mum says he is sick. He sleeps a lot and doesnâÃÂÃÂt let me sleep beside him anymore. My dad is getting help for his problems. He tells the people what is wrong and what has happened to him. I am also talking to the people about what happens with me at home. When I go there I play and do colouring.âÃÂàAisha* and Elyas* live in Tripoli with their three children, Rahaf*, 7 and brothers MoâÃÂÃÂmen, 6 and Louay*, 2. A Save the Children caseworker has been assigned to the family to support their psychological needs and also helped secure a place in a public school for Rahaf* and MoâÃÂÃÂmen*. The family are originally from Aleppo. Four years ago they were caught in the shelling which killed Aisha* and Elyas* five month old baby. Aisha* was in shock and Elyas*, decided to obtain passports for them so that they could leave Syria and find safety in Lebanon. Elyas* was detained in Syria and suffered interrogation and torture. The family eventually made their way to Lebanon to start a new life and are now living in a small apartment in a dilapidated building in central Tripoli. The area has high levels of gang crime and criminality and Aisha* says she feels Syrians are unwelcome in the area. Aisha* says that Elyas* is not the same man that he was and has severe mental health issues as a result of his experiences including aggressive behaviour, hallucinations and sudden outbursts. Aisha*, Elyas* and Rahaf* are all receiving counselling to help them overcome their experiences and adjust to their lives in Tripoli.  Aisha*, 25, says: âÃÂÃÂFor me, life is worse than you can imagine. The bombing and shelling got worse and worse in Aleppo. I lost my five month old baby and my nephew during the shelling. I couldnâÃÂÃÂt recover from what had happened to my baby and my husband was so worried for me. He thought I was in shock. My husband was held for nine months in Syria. When I saw him again he was covered in bandages all over his whole body. He was faint. I think his body had been burnt. I found out later that he had been detained and tortured. He is not the same man anymore. He is always in fear and has illusions. My husband changed so much. He was aggressive and violent with me. He never used to be. He even tried to commit suicide. Because I love him I tried to just absorb it all. I was under so much pressure. The children were shocked by his behaviour. I think he has also caused a psychological issue for me. I am a refugee who has lost everything and dealing with him on top of all of this is so hard. Their father yells at them and gets angry and they do not understand why he has changed. Sometimes they wet the bed randomly, even during the day. They are frightened and get scared so easily. I am living but I feel I died a long time ago.âÃÂÃÂ

Distintas organizaciones locales han iniciado campañas para recoger alimentos, ropa y otros enseres como mantas en previsión de la llegada de los refugiados. «Todas las iniciativas son buenas, pero habrá que esperar para ver cómo pueden coordinarse», explica Otero de ACNUR. Desde la organización se congratulan del «potente movimiento solidario ciudadano» que se ha generado, pero al mismo tiempo se muestran cautelosos. Una vez que se llegue a un acuerdo entre todos los agentes involucrados se podrá saber con certeza cómo se repartirán este tipo de donaciones.

  • En Madrid existe una Asociación de Apoyo al Pueblo Sirio. Lleva cuatro años organizando envíos con material humanitario al país como ropa, mantas, medicamentos o comida enlatada. El último de los 18 envíos que han realizado en este tiempo tuvo lugar a finales de agosto.
  • En este perfil de Facebook, ciudadanos murcianos plantean acciones para que el gobierno de su región pueda acoger refugiados sirios.
  • Esta otra cuenta convoca una reunión en un colegio valenciano para que todos aquellos interesados en ayudar puedan hacer sus propuestas.
  • En Asturias se ha creado una red de familias de acogida.

So far in 2015 more than 350,000 desperate people have made the perilous journey across the Mediterranean Sea. For those who do survive the treacherous journey, the terrifying ordeal is not over. Children often arrive in Europe scared and exhausted.Many have seen and experienced untold horrors during their journey.The physical impact of travelling is also clear.
