- 【Preface】
Have you ever seen this photo?
When you see such a shocking set of photos, you may not even be able to say the words, because all this in front of you has long been beyond words. I believe that the famous literary heroes will only remain silent when they see it. Because of this moment: everyone is crying on their faces, but their hearts are dripping blood.
The little girl in this photo is a Syrian baby girl who starved into a "skeleton doll" in the war. His name is Saha.
Due to the serious malady, Saha weighed less than 2,000 grams at the time of his full moon. Because of her hunger, her eyes were sunken and skinny, and she couldn't make a sound even crying weakly... Like a "skeleton doll".
I can't imagine how the little girl Saha will live.
So, what happened to the little girl?
Severely malnourished baby girl Saha
What kind of hellish life did the suffering Syrian people live?
- 【Saha who starved into a "skeleton doll"】
"Peace seems to have long since disappeared in Syria."
Unconsciously, the Syrian war has entered its 11th year.
During these 11 years, death, killing, blood, and refugees have flooded Syria. The scattered families of wives and children, the corpses and wailing everywhere seem to have become a "common thing" for the Syrian people.
In Syria, which is like a purgatory on earth, ordinary people at the bottom have become the saddest "martyrs". They clearly haven't done anything wrong, but they want to make their lives a bet in the great power game.
The turbulent but threatening land, the people struggling on the brink of death, the lives of children and babies who are regarded as grassy, are undoubtedly not tearing at our hearts...
Many people lost their lives in the fighting, and those who were fortunate enough to save their lives faced a desperate shortage of supplies. Among them, there are many people who can't survive and are starved to death, and the rest of them are also extremely malnourished, and they are skinny.
Baby girl Saha is one of them.
Saha who is crying
Saha was born in the rebel-held town of Hamurya in eastern Uta Damascus. Since the outbreak of the civil war, the government has surrounded the area so much that only a very small number of people and supplies have been able to enter it.
Local supplies were scarce, but the vampire-like black-hearted merchants thought that this was a good and profitable opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to frantically launch war money. They hold on to scarce supplies, drive up prices, and make the poor local people's lives even more miserable....
The inhabitants here, wanting to eat a full meal, are almost on the verge of ruin.
When Saha's mother was pregnant with Saha, she wanted to eat more and add some nutrition to the child in her belly, but the reality was that she could not even feed herself, and she was severely malnourished, let alone the child in her belly.
After Saha was born, her skinny mother couldn't squeeze out even a drop of breast milk.
The family is really poor, and Saha's father's income is very small, and he can't afford to buy milk powder. This made saha, who was already thin, less nutritious every day, and at 35 days of birth, she did not weigh 2,000 grams.
Saha weighs only 1925 grams
When Saha was taken to the hospital for treatment, due to severe malnutrition, her eye sockets were sunken, her bones were prominent, and her skin was translucent, like a "skeleton doll". A female paramedic can even hold her entire torso with one hand.
Coming to the new environment, Saha opened her eyes wide, and although she wanted to cry, she was too weak to make a sound. Like a "skeleton doll", Saha can only support his bloodless little body and accept the treatment of doctors.
But the next day, Saha swallowed his last breath and completed this short and unfortunate life.
Little Saha
Although Saha has left this world of extreme cruelty to her, there are thousands of children repeating Saha's mistakes, and these tragedies are far from over, and even intensify.
Saha is just a classic example of a starving child, with 4,000 people undernourished, 200 moderately malnourished and 80 in the town of Hamuriya, where Saha is located, in extreme danger.
Many children die of hunger, and they are so young that their lives are dying before they even begin. Not to mention the miserable life of the entire Syrian people.
Hunger is not the only death threat they face.
The cruelty and bloodshed of war is the nightmare they least want to touch...
The Syrian people under war
【Sacrificial "Battlefield Lolita"】
Looking at the War in Syria, it has always brought the threat of death and the flow of blood, and the Syrian country has lost the opportunity to develop and move forward in years of tug-of-war. However, the pace of the war did not disappear with the domestic mourning, but lasted for 11 years in this land.
We cannot say that the government did not foresee the horrors of war, but only that the weak have fallen victim to the power of the great powers.
On the Battlefield in Syria, the smoke of war can be seen everywhere, many people will starve to death, and many people will never see the sun the next day after sleeping at night. Therefore, in order to survive, or to be able to have food to eat, or to end this terrible war through war, many people have chosen to join the army.
This includes many teenagers.
Among these children who carry guns to the battlefield, there is such a little female soldier.
She was a Kur woman who looked to be only 17 or 8 years old, named Aiisa Ramazan Antar.
Antares
In the surviving photographs, we can see her pure and beautiful and slightly childish face.
She was supposed to have a better life in peace, like her peers, writing her youth in the classroom and on campus, but she was caught up in the war and lived a life of worrying about whether tomorrow would still be alive.
Antar does not know the nickname of "Little Lolita on the Battlefield" given to her by netizens; nor does she know when her country will go to peace; she will no longer have any fantasies about youth and life. Because her life was forever buried at the age of 19.
This beautiful girl, Antar, had been tragically killed on the battlefield.
At that time, ISIS terrorists were driving three large trucks carrying explosive devices towards Antar's squad, trying to blow themselves up and pull everyone into the water. Sensing the danger, Antar and his teammates blasted two of the trucks with heavy machine guns, but the third truck drove to their position.
When the explosive device detonated, The 19-year-old Antar and her teammates were suddenly wiped out.
The cruelty and ruthlessness of the war are vividly displayed in the 19-year-old Antar.
Unfortunately, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Inhumane executioners do not let go of their cruelty because of your weakness, but on the contrary, they can only become the accelerant that makes them more brutal, and lets them continue to go farther and farther on the road of destruction and slaughter...
- 【Girls' 3 and a half years of captivity】
She was only 14 years old when militants shot her father in front of Batule.
In the face of this sudden disaster, 14-year-old Batule was dumbfounded, she never expected to use this way to say goodbye to her father. This feeling of despair and powerlessness stung her heart deeply.
Perhaps at a young age, she did not understand the deep meaning of war, but everything that happened in front of her eyes over the years had to force her to understand: war is blood and death, and it is the life and death of flesh and blood. Even she herself could not escape the palm of the militant's hand, and after experiencing the death of her father, she was imprisoned with her fellow villagers.
I don't know if It is fortunate or unfortunate that Batule was lucky or unlucky, but after 3 and a half years of captivity, she actually regained her freedom.
But at this time, the fear of the once imprisoned life has always been with Batul and has always lingered.
When she finally plucked up the courage to tell the story of the terrorists turning their homes into prisons and execution chambers to the media camera, Batule's entire body trembled uncontrollably, and she hid her face from time to time to cry. The fear and despair that flowed from her eyes even surpassed death.
In August 2013, at least 14 armed groups launched an attack on Latakia province in western Syria, and The village where Batul lived was surrounded by fighting. The Batul family had just gotten up and were preparing to eat suhoor when suddenly gunshots rang out from the far side of the street, and it wasn't until the gunshots got closer that the Batules reacted: clashes broke out between the army and the militants.
Even Syrian soldiers, passing by Batule's doorstep, warned them that 4 militants had infiltrated the village and asked them not to open the door to anyone.
Gunshots rang out in the ears, and the family became more panicked when they heard the news, so they had to leave the house and hide in the backyard.
But in the end, the Batul family did not escape the bad luck, because the terrorists shouted slogans with vicious faces and swung into their homes. When they entered the backyard, they shot and killed their father in front of their families. It all came so suddenly that Batule suddenly lost his soul and allowed the terrorists to drag the rest into the house.
From this day on, Batule began a life of 3 and a half years of captivity.
Batulle's home was suddenly a prison cell, a prison, and a terrorist command post, and life was full of crises. There is no reason to lose your life, everything depends on the mood of the terrorist. Whenever the terrorists entered the house, Batule would tremble with fright, and the fear came from the heart, and she knew that if she did not obey, she would die.
"At that time, the house was full of blood, and where our family was imprisoned, all the windows were closed, and we couldn't see the sun at all, even if we wanted to see the sun for 5 minutes, it was impossible." ”
Until Batule regained his freedom, their terrible appearance was still engraved in Batule's mind, and from time to time it would emerge. And whenever she recalls the days of her captivity, Batule feels bitterness, because this is her abyss, an abyss that can never be escaped.
Now Batule did not dare to go to the street alone, and he had to let his uncle accompany him everywhere, because the experience and life he had once planted fear in Batule's heart. This fear does not wear off over time, but rather intensifies.
To this day, she remembers the threats posed to her by terrorists: whenever she talked about captivity, she would come and take her away.
Batule was even used to days without sunlight, and now she would close the curtains when she slept, in order to adapt to life and to prevent herself from being taken away again. For Batuller, this day of regaining freedom is no different from the days of fear that preceded it. Now even if she lives, she must always endure mental pain
Sometimes she thinks: Maybe death is a relief.
- 【Summary】
Today, the war situation in Syria is still unclear, conflicts will still break out from time to time, and the people there will still be unable to escape various threats such as death, and they can only live in fear all the time. I really don't know when they will be able to return to peace and live a normal life.
We can only wish them an early re-emergence and freedom from the erosion of war. I also hope that the whole world can move towards peace and not take the fate of all mankind for their own selfish interests.
Think about it: how fortunate we are in such a peaceful China. It is the strong motherland as our solid backing, we can enjoy such a happy life. When those who carry the weight for us, charge forward in the front, I also hope that we can have more gratitude and more progress.
Because only when China is strong can it have the right to speak, and it will not be crushed under its feet and slaughtered as it was more than a hundred years ago.
I hope that every Chinese can pick up the beams and shine in their own fields. We should strive proudly as Chinese and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation at an early date.
