Cardinal Zenari: Let’s not allow Syria to become a “beggar-nation'
Syrians are experiencing a deep and protracted political and socio-economic crisis caused by an ongoing conflict that has resulted in suffering and the severe deterioration of living conditions.
Cardinal Zenari’s appeal was echoed by Giampaolo Silvestri, Secretary General of the ASVI Foundation, that runs the “Open Hospitals Project in Syria,” and by Franciscan Father Fadi Azar, who heads an ASVI medical dispensary in the city of Latakia, where thousands of people turn to as they struggle with a daily situation of deprivation on all fronts.
They are the Italian Hospital in Damascus, the French Hospital in Damascus and the St. Louis Hospital in Aleppo, which provided structure and a starting point that needed a lot of work but a basis upon which to build. All speakers at the briefing upheld the gratitude of the people for Pope Francis’ closeness and for the concrete help offered by the Holy See and by a number of faith-based organizations. But their voice was one, in pleading for salvation:"In a situation where there is a scarcity of every basic need, where all Syrian children dream of leaving the country, where all young people have already left, even hope is all but dead," they cried.
