Civilian Danger in Syria
The article above describes some of the terror that is taking place in Syria as military groups fight for dominance in the area. The ISIL extremist group still holds some leverage in the ongoing battle, and innocent civilians are suffering as a result. The article also points out, however, that U.S. backed teams are helping to evacuate the innocent before any more ground is attempted to be gained. This is hugely important news as Syria has faded to the back of many American's minds, but it is still a war that is being prolonged by U.S. involvement, and therefore, still our responsibility to care about. The lives of those living in war torn Syria have been demolished over the past few years as fighting intensified, and now there is assistance being offered. Most importantly, this assistance is being backed by the United States, who has taken a great part in destroying their lives. Though the fighting is likely necessary to deal with the extremist group, it is a sight for sore eyes to read the article and learn there is still help on the way, hope being delivered to the civilians. The article has not provided detail of how many lives are saved, but it did state there are over 200 families in need.
Please read the article to step outside of our lives here in the United States, where we do not suffer from a war raging throughout the streets and terrorists killing any who try to escape. It puts things in prospective, and proves why we should care about a country that is not our own. We are involved, but we can help.
