Scenes of Yarmouk


A photograph of food distribution in a Damascus refugee camp for Palestinians released by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency in January.
Hundreds of people in Yarmouk gathering for food






Video of human aid in Yarmouk







   The scenes shown in Yarmouk are really changing the way people think about the war going on in Syria. The government is oppressing civilians, denying them food and supplies, and rounding them up like cattle. This changes the light we see the Syrian government in.
   Not only this, but it seems that the rebels are losing the war. The Syrian government seems to be winning the war, which has been going for years now.
   This has got me outraged. The scenes depicted of Yarmouk shows how little the Syrian government cares about their people. I believe this conduct shouldn't be allowed in a nation part of the UN in the 21st Century.

50 Word Mini Story

How did you get to where you are today?
When I first got to this school, I was just a little, chubby, and somewhat annoying kid. I had a really hard time back in sixth grade, but I learned a lot from those days. I improved my personality during seventh grade and made more friends. Eventually, everybody stopped picking on me in eighth grade.
So, now I am friends with a lot of people and nobody really picks on me.
