Fasting is done by adults as an act of spiritual discipline and self-reflection. For Children, it is traditionally a period of excitement, and for those experiencing the war in Syria, it can be a time of much-needed respite. \n\nThe conflict has had a devastating impact on children, with many being displaced from their homes. However, in Jarabulus, a team of volunteers are offering a ray of hope to these children by providing them with an activity-packed experience they will never forget. \n\nTrauma and hardship \n\nOmer Al-Nayef is a volunteer working with the humanitarian organisation \u2018 \u00d6nder \u2019. He says the volunteer team tries to simulate a typical Ramadan environment for the children, as many have experienced trauma and hardship. \n\n\u201cWe offer many activities, like clown activities, group breakfasts, choir, chess, karate, table tennis, storytelling and children\u2019s face painting. These things make children feel happy,\u201d Omar tells SCENES. \n\nOmer Al-Nayef joined the organisation as a volunteer to help displaced people like himself. \u201cI was displaced to Jarabulus five years ago,\u201d explains Omer. \u201cI want to help displaced people because I know their pain. I have been through the same challenges they are going through,\u201d he says. \n\nA shared love \n\nOmer\u2019s wife, Iman Al-Nayef, volunteers as a teacher in the organisation. She says that she met Omer for the first time while volunteering. \u201cI chose him to be my partner because he loves to support people in need,\u201d she says. \u201cWorking together within the volunteer team was very positive for our relationship and our life in general, adds Omer. \n\nThe organisation has more than 50 men and women working within it, and each volunteer is committed to helping the most vulnerable in society. \u201cThe war has led people to experience displacement and suffering,\u201d Iman tells SCENES. \u201cI wanted to assist the needy and displaced people. I heard about this volunteer team, so I joined the team,\u201d she says. \n\nOver six million children \n\nMany of the children helped by the organisation live in camps in Jarabulus and surrounding areas. According to United Nations statistics, over six million children require assistance, and three million are internally displaced. \n\n\u2018\u00d6nder\u2019 makes a special effort during Ramadan to create an environment of peace and happiness for the children. \u201cWe perform all activities to support children psychologically and to comfort them,\u201d says Omer. \u201cMany children need psychological support and help in addition to the educational work we are doing,\u201d he explains. \n\nIman teaches the children about fasting and helps them to make festive decorations for the religious season. \u201cWe make objects such as the Ramadan lantern and the Ramadan crescent. We also teach children how the \u2018Mesaharaty\u2019, the traditional Ramadan drummer, wakes people up for the pre-dawn meal,\u201d she says. \n\nAya, a 12-year-old girl from Allepo, joined the organisation\u2019s choir group two years ago. She says that since she was young, she has always loved singing. \u201cMy friends and I train three days a week. We have a keyboard and a guitar, and we record and perform special songs for Ramadan,\u201d says Aya. \n\n\u2018I have always loved singing\u2019 \n\nWhen Aya performs with the choir, she feels happy and fulfilled. \u201cI am very happy because it is very different from the situation in the camp. I would like to develop my skills and teach other children so that they become as happy as me right now,\u201d she says with a smile. \n\nUday is nine years old and lives in Al-Jabal camp on the outskirts of Jarabulus. He has been learning Karate for over a year and says that he has loved every minute. Karate allowed Uday to meet and bond with other children his age. He says that before joining the classes, he had no friends in his camp. \n\n\u201cWhen I came to the camp, I knew nothing about karate. The coach taught me the movements, and I trained and made friends. So far, I have got the yellow and green belts,\u201d Uday tells SCENES. \n\nHappiness is key \n\nOmer says that children are most happy when they are doing something physical. He believes the children benefit from having a team of adults showing genuine interest in their lives. \n\n\u201cChildren who lived through the war are deprived of many things. These children are like any child in the world. They need to learn, they need to play, they need enough food, they need clean water, they need a lot of things,\u201d explains Omer. \u201cWhen you see the child is happy, it means you are fulfilling your role in the volunteer team,\u201d he says. \n\nOmer, Iman and the rest of the \u00d6nder team are dedicated to improving the lives of displaced children, especially during Ramadan. They bring joy and comfort to children who have experienced unimaginable trauma and suffering. Their kindness and generosity will have a profound impact on these children well into the future.","htmlText":"<p><strong>SCENES shines a spotlight on youth around the world who are breaking down barriers and creating change.

Looking for international help that hasn&#039;t arrived,\" Griffiths said on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main complaints from the rescue teams was that they lacked sensors and advanced equipment to detect survivors, forcing them to search with shovels or bare hands.<\/p>\n<p>Supplies have been slow to arrive in Syria, where years of conflict have ravaged the healthcare system, and parts of the country remain under the control of rebels battling the government of President Bashar al-Assad, which is under Western sanctions.<\/p>\n<p><em>Watch the No Comment by clicking on the player button above.<\/em><\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1676297352,"publishedAt":1676316292,"updatedAt":1676316295,"expiresAt":0,"canonical":"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2023\/02\/13\/watch-northern-syria-waits-for-much-needed-aid-following-earthquake","programDeliverable":{"slug":"sujet","format":"default"},"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/39\/75\/02\/{{w}}x{{h}}_cmsv2_08e7fa91-57db-5b4a-bd5d-b546666fe67b-7397502.jpg","altText":"Emirati continue search and rescue operations in devastated Syria","caption":"Emirati continue search and rescue operations in devastated Syria","captionUrl":null,"captionCredit":"AFP","sourceUrl":null,"sourceCredit":null,"callToActionUrl":null,"callToActionText":null,"width":960,"height":540}],"authors":{"journalists":[],"producers":[],"videoEditor":[]},"keywords":[{"id":28110,"slug":"turkey-syria-earthquake","urlSafeValue":"turkey-syria-earthquake","title":"Turkey-Syria Earthquake","titleRaw":"Turkey-Syria Earthquake"},{"id":77,"slug":"earthquake","urlSafeValue":"earthquake","title":"Earthquake","titleRaw":"Earthquake"},{"id":8155,"slug":"syria","urlSafeValue":"syria","title":"Syria","titleRaw":"Syria"},{"id":284,"slug":"turkey","urlSafeValue":"turkey","title":"Turkiye (Turkey)","titleRaw":"Turkiye (Turkey)"}],"related":[{"id":2207790},{"id":2208754}],"technicalTags":[],"widgets":[],"allViews":0,"allViewsMeta":{"pointOfView":{"quotation":null,"description":null,"author":null},"survey":[],"tweetId":0,"tweet2NdId":null,"contentType":null,"displayOverlay":0},"displayType":"default","video":1,"videos":[{"format":"mp4","quality":"md","type":"normal","url":"https:\/\/video.euronews.com\/mp4\/med\/EN\/NC\/SU\/23\/02\/13\/en\/230213_NCSU_50403740_50404271_60000_153718_en.mp4","editor":"","duration":"60000","filesizeBytes":7987546,"expiresAt":0},{"format":"mp4","quality":"hd","type":"normal","url":"https:\/\/video.euronews.com\/mp4\/EN\/NC\/SU\/23\/02\/13\/en\/230213_NCSU_50403740_50404271_60000_153718_en.mp4","editor":"","duration":"60000","filesizeBytes":11884890,"expiresAt":0}],"externalPartners":[],"liveStream":[],"scribbleLiveId":0,"scribbleLiveRibbon":0,"isLiveCoverage":0,"sourceId":1,"sources":[],"externalSource":"AFP","additionalSources":null,"additionalReporting":"Euronews","freeField1":null,"freeField2":"","type":"","program":{"id":"nocomment","urlSafeValue":"nocomment","title":"no comment","online":1,"url":"\/nocomment"},"vertical":"news","verticals":[{"id":1,"slug":"news","urlSafeValue":"news","title":"News"}],"primaryVertical":{"id":1,"slug":"news","urlSafeValue":"news","title":"News"},"themes":[{"id":"news","urlSafeValue":"news","title":"World","url":"\/\/www.euronews.com\/news\/international"}],"primaryTheme":{"id":1,"urlSafeValue":"news","title":"News"},"advertising":0,"advertisingData":{"startDate":0,"endDate":0,"type":null,"isDfp":0,"slug":null,"title":null,"disclaimerLabelKey":null,"sponsor":null,"sponsorName":null,"sponsorUrl":null,"sponsorLogo":"","sponsorLogoReverse":""},"geoLocation":{"lat":0,"lon":0},"location":1,"continent":{"id":12,"urlSafeValue":"asia","title":"Asia"},"country":{"id":268,"urlSafeValue":"syria","title":"Syria","url":"\/news\/asia\/syria"},"town":[],"versions":[],"path":"\/video\/2023\/02\/13\/watch-northern-syria-waits-for-much-needed-aid-following-earthquake","lastModified":1676316295},{"id":2197722,"cid":7383556,"versionId":2,"archive":0,"housenumber":"230208_NWSU_50326685","owner":"euronews","isMagazine":0,"grapeshot":"'castrol_negative_uk','neg_mobkoi_castrol','pos_equinor','pos_facebook','pos_pmi','pos_ukraine-russia','gs_politics','gv_death_injury','gs_politics_issues_policy','gs_politics_misc','sm_politics','neg_nespresso','neg_facebook_q4','neg_saudiaramco','gb_death_injury_edu','gb_death_injury_news-ent','gs_society','gt_negative','gs_society_charity','gv_military','gs_science'","channels":[{"id":1},{"id":2},{"id":3},{"id":4},{"id":5},{"id":10},{"id":12},{"id":14}],"status":2,"title":"What challenges is Syria facing after the devastating earthquakes?","titleSeo":null,"titleListing1":"What challenges is Syria facing after the earthquakes?","titleListing2":"Turkey-Syria earthquakes: what are the specific issues impacting Syria?","leadin":"After more than ten years of civil war, parts of northern Syria are housing millions of internally-displaced people.

Millions of internally-displaced people have been sheltering there and getting enough help to them was already a challenge.\u00a0 \n\n\"You'd have done well to pick a worse place to be affected by an earthquake of this magnitude\", says Mark Kaye, from the International Rescue Committee . \n\n\"Some of the people that we work with in northwestern Syria have been displaced more than 20 times over the last 12 years.\" \n\nHuge cholera outbreak feared \n\nMillions in northern Syria live in camps for internally-displaced persons. Tents have generally not been affected, but other key facilities have fared poorly. \n\n\"The camps are terrible. It's rained, so there's a lot of mud\", says World Vision Syria Response Director, Johan Mooij, who has workers on the ground with internally displaced people. \n\n\"One of our fears now is that if there's no good drinking water, cholera will explode. Basic services are down.

Roads have been destroyed, along with other crucial infrastructure. In northern Syria, agencies face an additional problem, however -- the border itself. \n\nAs a result of the ongoing civil war, Syria's northwest is divided between government, rebel and Turkish control. Before the earthquakes, most humanitarian aid entered the area from Turkey. However, restrictions on what can -- and cannot -- come in, as well as a lack of overall capacity, mean not enough material is getting through. \n\n\"The entire area is largely reliant on one border crossing point from Turkey for UN aid assistance that wasn't already sufficient\", says Mark Kaye. \n\nWhile some aid has been requested by and sent to the Syrian government, it remains a small portion of what is currently needed. And there is no communication between the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the rebel factions. What's more, diplomatic relations between most Western governments and Damascus, are non existent. \n\nAs Xavier Castellanos from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies notes, \"limitations that we can face around sanctions do affect the speed [at which] we can intervene.\" \n\n\"[They] affect the capacity to allocate financial resources, to enter and to operate... it will require more flexibility.\" \n\n\"Most of the resources in funding, search and rescue teams, at the moment seems to be heading towards southern Turkey where there are significant needs, but we need to make sure that Syria isn't forgotten.

after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck neighbouring Turkey, state media and a medical source said. \n\nAFP correspondents in northern Syria said terrified residents ran out of their homes after the earthquake hit before dawn near the Turkish city of Gaziantep, about 40 kilometres from the Syrian border. \n\nThe quake killed at least 239 people and left at least another 648 injured in government-controlled parts of Syria, including the cities of Aleppo, Hama, Latakia and Tartus, state television said. \n\nIn rebel-held parts of the northwest of the country, at least 147 people were killed and more than 340 were injured, according to rescue workers. \n\n\"The toll may increase as many families are still trapped,\" the White Helmets rescue group, which operates in rebel-controlled areas of the war-torn country, stated on Twitter. \n\n\"Our teams are on the ground searching for survivors & removing the dead from the rubble,\" it added. \n\nRescuers rushed to probe for survivors under the rubble of collapsed buildings in the pouring winter rain. \n\nIn Aleppo alone, 24 people died and 100 were injured when 20 buildings collapsed in the province, the official news agency SANA had said, quoting an official. \n\nEven before the tragedy, buildings in Aleppo, Syria's pre-war commercial hub, often collapsed because of the dilapidated infrastructure. After more than a decade of war, there has been little oversight in terms of ensuring the safety of new construction projects, with some being built illegally. \n\nSANA said the earthquake was felt from Latakia on the Mediterranean coast, to Damascus. \n\n\"This earthquake is the strongest since the National Earthquake Centre was founded in 1995,\" Raed Ahmed, who heads the centre, told SANA. \n\nNear the border town of Azaz, an AFP correspondent saw rescuers pull survivors as well as five bodies from the rubble of a three-storey building that had collapsed. \n\nDeaths were also reported in northern Syrian areas controlled by pro-Turkish factions. \n\n\"We have been working on rescuing survivors and recovering the dead from under the rubble\" in the regions of Azaz and Al-Bab, Omar Alwan, the medical response coordinator for the area, told AFP. \n\nDozens of rescuers and residents had toiled in the darkness, using flashlights to look for survivors in the rubble. \n\nIn Azmarin on the Turkish border, at least 10 buildings had collapsed, an AFP correspondent in the town reported. \n\nThe earthquake hit near Gaziantep in southeastern Turkey at 04:17 am (0117 GMT) at a depth of about 17.9 kilometres, the US Geological Survey said. \n\nTremors were also felt in Lebanon and Cyprus, AFP correspondents said.","htmlText":"<p>At least 783 people were killed and 2,280 injured in Syria on Monday, after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck neighbouring Turkey, state media and a medical source said.<\/p>\n<p>AFP correspondents in northern Syria said terrified residents ran out of their homes after the earthquake hit before dawn near the Turkish city of Gaziantep, about 40 kilometres from the Syrian border.<\/p>\n<p>The quake killed at least 239 people and left at least another 648 injured in government-controlled parts of Syria, including the cities of Aleppo, Hama, Latakia and Tartus, state television said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-tweet widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio\u2014auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <div class=\"widget__tweet\" data-tweet-id=\"1622586199041884163\"><\/div>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In rebel-held parts of the northwest of the country, at least 147 people were killed and more than 340 were injured, according to rescue workers.<\/p>\n<p>\"The toll may increase as many families are still trapped,\" the White Helmets rescue group, which operates in rebel-controlled areas of the war-torn country, stated on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>\"Our teams are on the ground searching for survivors &amp;

boat sank off the coast of Syria, officials say. \n\nMore than 120 people -- mainly Lebanese and Syrians -- are believed to have been on board the small boat that capsized on its way to Europe. \n\nLebanese Transport Minister Ali Hamie said on Friday that 19 people had been rescued near the\u00a0Syrian port city of Tartus. \n\nThursday's tragedy is likely to be the highest-ever death toll for a migrant crossing from Lebanon. \n\n\"I am discussing with the Syrian transport minister a mechanism to recover the bodies in Syria,\" Hamie told AFP, adding that rescue efforts were still underway. \n\nIn April, dozens of people were killed when an overcrowded migrant vessel sank off the coast of Tripoli, prompting widespread anger. \n\nLebanon has seen a spike in migration amid a deepening economic crisis. \n\nThe number of people who tried to leave Lebanon by sea nearly doubled in 2021 compared to the previous year, according to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR). \n\nRare migrant sea rescue off the coast of Bulgaria \n\nBulgaria's interior ministry said on Thursday that 38 migrants, including eight children, were rescued in the Black Sea by the country's coastguard. \n\nThe group -- from Syria and Afghanistan -- were spotted in trouble during a storm on their way to Romania, officials said. \n\nIt is the first time since 2014 that migrants have been found in Bulgarian territorial waters, according to Anton Mirkov, director of the regional border police. \n\n\"The boat was seven to eight metres long and ran out of fuel,\" he told reporters. \n\nBulgaria recently sent around 300 soldiers to its 259-kilometre border with Turkey to reinforce a barbed wire fence. \n\nPressure on migration in the EU country has risen after two police officers were killed by a bus carrying migrants last month . \n\nGreek coastguard searches for missing migrants \n\nThe Greek coast guard has also stated that it is searching for six migrants reported missing off the southeastern Aegean island of Leros.\u00a0 \n\nOfficials say that 49 migrants were found \"in good health\" on an island beach but that\u00a0\"their inflatable boat was found destroyed at sea\". \n\nSurvivors said that\u00a0\"a total of 55 people were on board the boat,\" the Greek coastguard added in a statement . \n\nThe majority of the migrants are from Somalia, Sierra Leone and Uganda. \n\nAnother rescue operation was also underway near the southwestern town of Pylos on the Greek mainland. \n\nThe coastguard says that 85 migrants \"in difficulty\" were rescued by a cargo ship and oil tanker in the area.\u00a0The survivors were transferred to the nearby port of Kalamata.","htmlText":"<p>At least 77 migrants have drowned and several more are missing after their boat sank off the coast of Syria,
