Father Francis, from Holland, is married to Syrian woman and has been living for a long time. He said in a video filmed inside a church in the Old City of Homs that “we Christians and Muslims alike have been living in harsh and painful conditions and suffering as a result of many difficulties. The major problem is hunger, as people cannot find anything to eat. It is very distressing when you see people roaming the streets looking for food for their kids.” He said also that “the other big problem is medical supplies. There are many people here who need specialized medical operations. They have been suffering a lot. This situation is unbearable, we need real aid, and our problems need to be tackled. We have been trapped for over a year and a half. It is unreasonable how the international community is keeping silent while we are starving. We love life and do not want to die or drown in the sea of death and pain.” (Source: Syrian Coalition)
