Earthquake victims in North West Syria in desperate need

While the world has responded to the great catastrophe in Turkey, little to no help or aid is reaching families in North West Syria. Indeed borders have been closed preventing the United Nations from assisting.

After eight years of war and oppression, families are barely subsisting and now the conditions are unbearable and the people demoralised by the total global indifference. With the northern borders closed cannot other regional nations provide help.
They need medicine, food and shelter. Politics and wars should be put aside at these times and people in need, our brothers and sisters, should be cared for.
Can our world family please help them? Have they not suffered enough?

UPDATE 1: We are grateful to hear that the Syrian government has opened the borders to let the UN AID in. 14/02/2023

UPDATE 2:
During his visit to Damascus on Sunday, Speaker of Egypt's House of Representatives Hanafy El-Gebaly said that Syria is a brotherly country which all Arabs should support to get back to the Arab fold.

His remarks came during his visit – alongside speakers of the parliaments of Iraq, Jordan, Palestine, Emirates and Libya – to Syria on Sunday where they met with Syria's president Bashar Al-Assad. The visit was the first of its kind for an Arab parliamentary delegation to Syria in two decades.

"The visit comes to show solidarity with the Syrian people and express support after the disastrous earthquake which hit the country on 6 February," said El-Gebaly.

"Egypt in particular has historic relations with Syria, and I am here in Damascus to convey a message that we all support the great and steadfast Syrian people and wish them all prosperity and welfare," said El-Gebaly.
