“The humanitarian situation in Syria is simply catastrophic”
Nabil Antaki, a medical doctor and project partner of Christian Solidarity International (CSI), remained in Aleppo throughout the Syrian civil war to care for those affected by the conflict. In an interview with CSI Germany, the co-founder and director of the Blue Marist relief organization describes the disastrous effects of economic sanctions on Syria, where 90 percent of people are now living below the poverty line. He calls for public pressure for the lifting of the sanctions.
