Short Stories in Latakia – Sports City Center
Esraa
Esraa is a 47-year-old mother who managed to escape her damaged house and survived the earthquake with her child. As initially she didn’t know about any shelters they spent the first night under a bridge. When she heard about the collective shelter, her brother, and his family moved with them to the Sports City Center. Esraa is thankful for ADRA because the delivery of the food is done in person, from hand-to-hand, so she can see and thank those helping her.
Hafiza
Hafiza is 24 years old and has an artistic soul. Her husband is serving in the army now and wasn’t at home when the disaster struck. Their house is no longer a safe place to live with visible cracks in the walls. Hafiza is staying with her daughter in the Sports City Center and is very thankful for the meals and the hygiene kits provided by ADRA.
Mohammed
Mohammed had disabilities before the earthquake and must use a walking stick. For him, walking, and even sitting, can be painful. He is the champion at the Sports City Center card games, and even though he is alone, he made new friends. He is thankful because without ADRA there wouldn’t have been an Iftar. He still dreams that he will have a small house and work in the future.
Hope for Muhammed in Latakia
Muhammad, 38, was severely impacted by an earthquake and now resides with his wife and six children in the Adnan Al Malki collective shelter in Latakia.
“After the earthquake destroyed our home, we sought refuge at Jaafar Nassif school, an improvised shelter hosting many people. Sharing a classroom with another family was uncomfortable, making it difficult to change clothes and maintain privacy.”
“During our stay, ADRA provided crucial hygiene supplies to us and others in the shelter. We had to leave our homes without any belongings, and now our only possessions are the clothes we’re wearing.”
“When the Jaafar Nassif shelter closed, we relocated to the Adnan Al Malki school shelter, where ADRA continued supporting us. They supplied hygiene kits and facilitated solar energy, water heaters, and bathrooms.”
“I’m incredibly grateful to ADRA and their dedicated team for their unwavering commitment in meeting our needs and providing assistance.”
