SAMS White Paper on Implementing UN Cross-Border Aid to Syria under Resolution 2165

The very first time the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS) signed an MOU with an United Nations agency to deliver a shipment of aid under Resolution #2165, the delivery truck was destroyed in a targeted air strike shortly before the shipment of UN supplies was scheduled to arrive at a Syrian destination via the Turkish border.

Every child deserves the basic human rights: life, liberty and security...

Baby Jana, born of Syrian parents in Jordan, is lucky. She arrived on planet earth on May 7th in a country where her chances of survival far surpass those of her generation that remain in embattled areas of Syria.

Every day children are murdered in Syria. Every day. It's a good day when only 8 die like today.

Every child deserves the basic human rights: life, liberty and security. I pray that someday someone in the international arena will have the moral courage to do what is right by the innocent people in Syria who have experienced the unthinkable for years.

Blessings, protection and love to all.

IMPOTENCE OF THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL REGARDING SYRIA

United Nations Security Council is toothless…only able to gum out words of condemnation and not able to protect innocent civilians against the genocide happening in Syria at the hands of al-Assad.

Here is a simplistic approach proving the impotence of the UN SC using some of its own resolutions on Syria over a period of two and a half years:

·              4.14.12 UN Security Council Resolution 2042 – calling for cessation of violence in Syria. It’s December 2014. There has been no cessation of violence.

·              4.21.12 UN Security Council Resolution 2043 – calling for cessation of violence in Syria. It’s December 2014. There has been no cessation of violence.

·              5.27.12 UN High Commissioner for Human Rights stated that acts of violence in Syria may account to crimes against humanity or other forms of international crimes…It’s December 2014 and the crimes against humanity and flagrant disregard for international law is still occurring by the Syrian Regime. Sure, other parties may also be carrying out similar crimes but nowhere near the scale of al-Assad.

·              8.7.12 UN General Assembly Resolution 66/253 calling on UN Security Council to uphold is Resolutions 2042 and 2043 It’s December 2014. The SC still has not upheld it’s two 2012 resolutions

·              2.22.14  UN Security Council Resolution 2139 was passed by a unanimous vote of on February 22, 2014.Resolution 2139 called on all parties in the Syrian Civil War to permit free access to humanitarian aid. It’s December 2014. A meager attempt at allowing humanitarian aid into a few areas occurred and were immediately halted due to Assad regime not approving access to humanitarians.

·              7.16.14 United Nations Security Council Resolution 2165 was passed permitting humanitarian access and aid to Syria. It’s December 2014. A meager attempt at allowing humanitarian aid into a few areas occurred and were immediately halted due to Assad regime not approving access to humanitarians.

The UN made these resolutions all the while ‘reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic’.  While al-Assad is on a genocidal rampage. 

Did you see the man holding the sobbing child in Damascus on tonight's MSNBC's news program by Brian Williams highlighting the suffering of children in Syria‬?

How could you heart not be affected?  

As much as it tears my heart I have the honor of doing the same...and then playing with some of those very sad children. 

And I do it with so many of you behind me because it's your aid that comes with me. THANK YOU. 

Let's keep spreading the news and shame the international leaders into action on behalf of the innocent children of Syria!!

1,258 Syrians entered Jordan in a 24 hour period on Monday 3.3.14

I'm heading back to Jordan in two weeks with SCM Medical Missions. I hadn't checked on the number of refugees that have been entering the country of recent so decided to do so. 

A total of 1,258 Syrians entered Jordan in a 24 hour period on Monday.

Jordan is smaller than the state of Indiana and has about 6 million inhabitants - about the same as Indiana.

There are now over 600,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan heading towards a million by the end of the year. Can you imagine the state of Indiana growing by a million in a year and a half?????

The NEED IS IMMENSE. Thanks to all who help.

11 Residential Districts in Aleppo city pounded by Assad Regime

Post by Dr. Abdulghani Sankari, 12.15.13, posted with permission:

Dear friends, 

Today is one of worst days on civilians in Aleppo city where my family still live in. Barrels of nails and TNT were thrown from military helicopters all day on 11 residential districts in Aleppo city (attached photo) resulting severe injuries and several dozens civilians killed including at least 12 children. The surgeons and ICU doctors are overwhelmed calling for help as they see people dying from their wounds and cannot do anything as all operating rooms are full. Dr Ammar Zakaria one of few anesthesiologists in Syria said today to Telegraph "what is happening in Aleppo is a massacre, my Intensive care unit is full of children" who is also part of ‪#‎Aleppo‬ City Medical Council http://t.co/3SBharZsxi

As American citizens we should ask the administration for not only disarming the chemical weapons as the killing continue using other ugly ways that are considered crimes against humanity by all means. With skepticism starting to loom about Geneva 2 before it is even started I suggest to request the following proposals to congress: 

1- Asking our administration to demand from Russia and other Syria regime allies to put pressure on Assad to stop immediately these massacres and human rights violations. 

2- To put pressure on neighboring countries Turkey, Lebanon and Iraq to control their borders with Syria to stop extremists from entering Syria including Hizballah, and ISIS . 

3- To put more pressure on the regime by more sanctions on every one involved in these crimes and refer them to the international criminal court. 

4- To demand humanitarian corridors to deliver aids and winterization items as a bitter cold weather just started to kill people. 

5- To ask our administration to work with moderate opposition and support them before it is too late. Extremists are taking over opposition controlled areas and that pose a national security risk for United States and allies in the region.

Nelson Mandela, Syrian Revolution and Mother Justice

One man declares that a freedom fighter is a terrorist and look at the hell it creates. Nelson Mandela is an example. I can not imagine spending 27 years in jail for my beliefs. But he did – over a third of his life. He was on a ‘terror’ watch list for years. Yet he became the father of an era free of apartheid and the President of the very country for which he worked as a freedom fighter tirelessly and a great cost.

When a man (or men) in a state of denial uses words to decry something right as wrong, Mother Justice eventually steps in and sets all straight.

There are similarities in Syria. Innocent non-violent protestors were fired upon, raped, tortured and imprisoned and the hell continues – affecting so many innocents. Freedom fighters have been labeled as terrorist by their psychopathic genocidal leader. Be assured that Mother Justice’s wheels are turning and all will be set straight in her time.
