BBC Arabic satellite channel has reported that the losses incurred by Syria over the past decade amount to $226 billion as 27 per cent of buildings and compounds were destroyed, while the poverty rate stands at 60 per cent of the population.

Satellite channels are confined to giving figures… but do we realize that every figure is an indication of a tragedy? It is craze… this is a report that reflects a bleak future for Syria with no hope in the offing.

These are figures reflecting a reality, at a time when the world conscience has turned a blind eye to the humanitarian crisis.
