Delaying volunteering acts | Civilians accuse officials of “stealing rescue materials and insulting people affected by earthquake”

Lattakia province: The regime’s security services arrested a civilian for “criticizing the Syrian authorities in a video tape”, where he explained that those distributing rescue aids are forced to obtain security approval to be able to distribute aids on those affected by the earthquake, and criticized the inhuman acts and the theft of rescue materials by the regime.

According to reliable SOHR sources, those distributing rescue aids dealt with those affected inproperly, where the aids were thrown in Lattakia countryside in an insulting manner.

Activists circulated video tapes and pictures showing the processes of stealing rescue materials for those affected in Al-Riyadiyah city (Sports city) in Lattakia.

Moreover, local sources of SOHR confirmed that several kinds of rescue materials are being sold in Damascus, Lattakia and different provinces for cheap prices in comparison with the prices of local markets, where dozens of villages and towns did not receive aids, amid appeals to bring aids.

Yesterday, several complaints were issued by residents of Satamo town in Lattakia countryside regarding the absence of rescue aids that were distributed on those affected by the earthquake in the town and neighbourhing villages.
This caused a state of discontent among the residents of the town, forcing the regime’s security forces to interfere and solve the issue.
Amr Salim, the Minister of Internal Trade and Consumer Protection of the regime’s government, explained that patrols headed to Satamo town and it was revealed that two mayors have distributed the rescue aids on their relatives, where the issue was solved and the aids were distributed on those affected by the earthquake.
Residents of the affected villages including Lattakia and its countryside demanded that qualified individuals should be responsible for the distribution of the aids fairly to those in need, amid doubt regarding the integrity of the officials of the regime, who steal the aids without any supervision.
