Madaya, Syria is starving to death. Help them
40,000 people are being starved to death by Assad and Hizbollah in the Syrian besieged town of Madaya. The images on social media are horrendous. People are eating their pets and grass.
A campaign has been started for food drops to be organised by British aircraft. Americans should be doing the same. Urge whoever can effect this to do something similar. Now.
I am sorry if I sound angry and provocative but this has been going on for years and this is not ‘trending’ and the people impacted have become just a political talking point. They’re not. They’re people for whom something practical can be done.
You can also donate to people trying to get food to the besieged people.
