Turkey, Syria earthquake: Why the situation in Syria is being called a ‘crisis within a crisis’

Firstpost  

“It’s a crisis within a crisis.” That’s how El-Mostafa Benlamlih, UN resident and humanitarian coordinator in Syria, described the situation in Syria after the 7.8-strong magnitude earthquake struck the border areas of Turkey and Syria on Monday morning. These areas were already struggling to rebuild vital infrastructure heavily damaged by continual aerial bombardment during the country’s civil war, which the United Nations estimates to have claimed 300,000 lives since 2011. Lack of aid Even before the earthquake struck Syria, the UN said that the number of people in need of humanitarian support was large — 70 per cent of the population required aid owing to the poor conditions in the war-ravaged country. Also read: ‘Miracle baby’ of Turkey-Syria Earthquake: Youngest survivor born under rubble The UN estimates that 90 per cent of the 18 million in Syria are living in poverty, with the economy struck by conflict, drought, the COVID pandemic as well as the recent Cholera outbreak.
