Syria facing a ‘crisis within a crisis within a crisis’ after earthquake, Irish aid worker says

“There is a lack of water, not only from damage to infrastructure from the conflict but also from climate change. There is a very big water scarcity problem,” she told The Irish Times.

“What we’ve been hearing is people are trying to stay with relatives where they can, but also going to structures like mosques, schools - structures that seem to have not been as affected,” she said, adding that the area affected by the earthquake has been on the “frontline” of the more than decade-long civil war in Syria.“We have to remember it was in a dire humanitarian situation anyway…Now what we’re looking at is a crisis within a crisis within a crisis.

Aid agencies had also largely been responding to the immediate crisis in urban areas. “We can imagine that we’re only going to see the numbers grow as we start to get to more rural areas,” she said.
