The report delineated the unbearable situation, “Women were scooping up handfuls of earth, making little damns to stop water from running into their tents. People struggled uphill, slipping and sliding in mud mixed with sewage.”

Dr, Abdalmajid Katranji, SEO PR committee and SAMS's board member, said; “ I am in Atma, trying to extend my help to our people in dire need. I would like to convey my message: the situation requires the attention of aid agencies to provide support. There are numerous refugee camps dotting the countryside. The area has had steady rainfall and near freezing temperatures for about five days straight. No international aid agency present. The support of these refugees and victims has been purely through the donations of private Syrian individuals and Syrian charity groups with some Turkish assistance. Literally a tent city has sprung up in a matter of week right along the border with several thousand individuals. I met with some of them who told me they are not only looking for safety from the brutal regime but they are desperately looking for food. The regime has been specifically targeting bakeries and grain storage facilities. We urge all Media outlets to cover this crisis.”
