Photo number 3:

Why the things don't work the same way around the world? Why there are people who have to suffer more than others? And above all this, the children. Those poor little boys who fight for their lives every day to keep going. For this reason, I am here, to comment this image that in a few words you can say a lot. I chose this image because of the impact it produced on seeing it, for all the things that through my head and now I'm going to comment.

 

A picture is worth more than a thousand words, an image that says it all, an image where we can appreciate the state of the country. With the photograph of Razan Rashidi we can confirm the water shortage in his hometown Aleppo, Síria. In the image we can see a poor boy where he is going to collect water for the daily needs of his family. Unfortunately, to this day, many children are forced to stand in line at water distribution stations for hours to get enough water to support the family for an entire day. Many of Aleppo's children take water from other places and that is why many of them are exposed to diseases caused by water pollution. Wars are practically the main cause, as they have used water as a weapon for a long time, where they contaminated it, where they destroyed the water supply equipment or blocked the fuel supply that was essential for the hydro-electric plant to work without problems. One million children depend on this Installation for clean water, essential to prevent life-threatening diseases. 

The war should stop attacking the water supply consecutively, as it is essential for the survival of the population. Because this situation, the children who should be playing and learning are working hard every day to contribute water to a poor family, a family that has lost everything, a family that fights for their lives and to keep their relatives alive. This is poverty!
