Helping Hand to the Iraque War Refugees in Syria

 SISTER HATUNE DOGAN IN DAMASCUS

 

Introduction
Sister Hatune Foundation is actively involved in helping Iraqi War Refugees and started its activities in Syria. The main focus, the Foundation has consistently tried to the large number of Iraqi refugees in their escape to neighboring countries of Iraque. The numbers of refugees into neighboring countries according to the report by the UNHCR are as follows:

Country Refugees
Iran 54,000
Jordan 750,000
Syria 1,500,000
Lebanon 40,000
Turkey 24,000
Egypt 100,000

A large number of refugees are located in northern Iraq. The rest is in all countries in the world as scattered. In total there are six million Iraqi people are on the flight to escape.

Since 2003 they also live in all the neighboring countries in inhuman conditions, without work, shelter, polluted barracks, in damp cellar holes, where the sewage is and not even rats to live. With the humidity, lack of sanitation and the dirt related ill-nesses such as allergies, asthma, in-fectious skin diseases etc.; simply, these people have no future if you do not help very soon!

Activities of Sr. Hatune  Foundation in Damasucs

 

In this situation the Damascus Chapter of Sr.Hatune Foundation is actively involved to help the Iraque War Refugees in association with world wide chapters of Sr. Hatune Foundation. Assyrian Aid Society also joined with the Foundation for the particular task.

There are hundreds of girls were raped and many women were raped in front of their husbands by the antisocial To the relief of Irauqe refugees in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey Sister Hatune foundation collected materials and money from its various branches around the world, especially from Ireland and England thanks Wilfried Wong, Miriam Beattie from Ireland and Albert Michael from London, for the said help. On 21.04.08 Sister Hatune Foundation associated with "Assyrian Aid Society” for effective work in Syria through the Damscus chapter of Sister Hatune Foundation. Within a very short time it offered to the Iraqi refugees food and the necessary financial support for several months, such as rent etc.

Thanks to the tireless day and night work of the members of the Foundation’s Damascus chapter. The same work was also done by other branches in Jordan and Tur-key. Under the leadership and presence of sister Hatune the chapter members visited the camps.

Hereby, we appeal to the whole world, to save these helpless, innocent, oppressed, humiliated, used and exploited, bused raped and persecuted refugees.

The law and order break at Iraque

On 06 April'07, Good Friday by 14 clock, was a 14 year old boy alive nailed to the cross and then from the bottom with swords pricked until he died.

Kidnappings are on the agenda. Without ransom, these get killed on an atrocious way. Many young men were beheaded be-cause they allegedly in any way they worked together.

The worst of all are the reactions and accusations of UNHCR, the refugees reject the following reason: The refugees had the figures of the ransoms to terrorists in their action. What would the other abductees do, as they threatened with death.

INTERVIEWS

We have interviewed several refugees to assess the situation. As a protection all names in this report have been amended. All I have interviewed people in their distress niches previously visited, and then to secure their protection to an interview with me in my accommodation received.

What's your name?
My name is G. M.

How old are you?
43 years old.
 
Where are you from?
I come from Baghdad.
 
Since when you are on the flight?
Since 27-Aug-2007

What was your job?
I was a housewife, but my husband had a wine business.
 
How many people are in the family?
I have four children, three sons and a daughter, she is the youngest.
 
Tell me the reason for your flight!
They have kidnapped my husband on 13-Jun-2007 and called us with the demand $ 50 000 ransom to be paid. We tried to get the total money together, but only $ 7,000 get together. They have promised my husband still free. I paid $7000 to them but  on 17-Jun I saw the distorted body of my husband. ($7000 paid but brutally killed)

They even tried to kidnap my sons. After his assassination, we received further death threats; they have bombed our wine business, and said if we do not instantly disappear, they would kill us all, because infidels had nothing to search. Since that call, I was no longer in my house.

On 27-Aug-2007 in the night with a rented car, I fled to Syria without any belongings.

Did you know anything about Syria earlier?
NO
 
Can you imagine to go back to Iraq in case of peace?
Never never never again!
 
How do they live here in Syria?
Here we do not receive death threats, but we have no work opportunities. The children are allowed to visit school, but we are unable to afford it. We are on donations.

What about your future?
I have no future. But I hope that we one day in a country with secure life and our existence in peace.
 
What did you wish to us or to the world?
First, that you pray for us, secondly, to rescue us from this hell to get out of here.
 
We gave them 14000 lire for the education of the daughter, a food stocks for one month, and the rent paid for six months.

 Girls of all ages are blindfolded abducted several hours and days, months, abused and raped. This happened also this five-year child on the photo. The kidnappers demanded ransom $ 13000! The girl, like all other victims suffered untold trauma and speaks not a word any more! All the victims are generally different bar-baric and sadistic abused, for example, on the harmless by urinating on the victims, electric shock, expressions of cigarettes on the body, slicing the skin and filling with corrosive chemicals and kindling with gasoline.

Pregnant  Woman on Rape

Young woman, seven months pregnant, was raped in front of her husband took to the ground and beaten. It was so long in her womb occurred, and boxed until the child and they almost died.

In front of the eyes of the mothers, they kill the children in the most obstinate kind with scornful laughter. Not even the expectant life is left alive! Even the corpses as such are not alone, but for the last “benefits”, filled with explosive charges for more dam-age and destruction outrages.
 
Prisoners

Prisoners, if any, with most priceless ransoms while alive but maimed again. Many are in spite of their absolute innocence in prison, which is a pure torture dungeon. The suffering of these people through torture, is in no way back.

A youth, when she still had lived in Iraq from her  neighbors abducted and raped. But it succeeded in their escape to Syria.

She came Syria after payment of bribes. When the neighbors heard of them, led by paying a higher sum to the Syrian police, this woman recaptured to take what they have not succeeded because they no longer stayed in the country. It was then her sister, mother of two children (four and six years old) arrest and torture in Iraqi prison in which they have been one year and two months innocently caught. Now it is one of these many victims of torture.
 
Young man brutally killed

If the ransom neither timely, nor even canīt be paid, the people on worse kind massacred to death. The children of this man are orphaned. And many other children vegetate on the road.
 

Forced Prostitution
According to the information gathered by sister Hatune Foundation chapters  in Syria, Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon, due to the famine, both girls and 5% of boys forced into prostitution.
 
 Interview a girl in Syria

Anni, a 17 years old is since a year in Syria. Her father was killed two years ago at Dora/Baghdad on the most inhuman way. In Feb-07 because they are got  death threats and fled to Syria. The smugglers have robbed all their possession. As her siblings are still young children, her mother with one arm and the cellar holes of the rent is very high (approx. 85 Euros per month), We have paid her for 10 months rent and 30 Euros per month for food. They knelt in gratitude loud howling in front of my feet down and cried looking at the sky, "Thank God that You have saved me from this hell.”


This is unfortunately not an isolated incident, but we did on 22-Apr-2008 and the following days, in this way thanks to donations from England (London) and Ireland, 30 girls in this country help.
Through donations of food and necessities were also 652 families being preserved, the first in the wrong way to come.
 
In Jordan

A young woman, 21 years old, and her father killed in Iran-Iraq-War is a typical illegal refugee in Jordan. Illegal refugees in Jordan are not allowed to  work. Thus she was forced to opt for the daily bread for selling herself. Hatune  foundation gave her  a six-month lease money and food on 25.04.2008. We saw  21 girls in the same position. We have rescued 150 families before they come into prostitution. These people had not started  to sell them-selves.
 
In Turkey
A girl,18 years old, (April 04 her father brutally murdered before his door-step), lived until January 2006 under harsh death threats. Her 12 year old sister was  saved by  the help of her  classmates and teachers from the hands of the kidnappers. Because of  fear she did not attend in school. On 05. 01. 2006, they fled to Turkey and had nothing more with them, since the smugglers had stolen everything. The refugees are not allowed to work in Turkey.Therefore, the  foundation helped many including 18 girls of this kind.
 
Sister Hatune Foundation helping all without religious differences.
