瓦迪巴拉达的人口在10万以上。他们每一个人都饱受轰炸加剧和包括粮食、水、电和药品在内人类生活基本必需品前所未有的短缺之苦。自 2015 年中以来，叙利亚政权一直在对瓦迪巴拉达开展“不屈服就挨饿”运动，并利用停火来掩盖这一残暴政策的继续实施。在所谓停火的头三天，该政权采取的野蛮行动致使大约 1 200 人流离失所，而那些坚守者面临的人道主义局势则随着每一小时在不断恶化。
Wadi Barada has a population of over 100,000 people. Every one of them is suffering as a result of the intensified bombing and unprecedented shortages of the basic necessities of human life, including food, water, electricity and medicine. The regime has been conducting a submit-or-starve campaign against Wadi Barada since the middle of 2015, and is using the ceasefire as a cover to continue implementing that brutal policy. During the first three days of the supposed ceasefire alone, the regime’s barbaric operations displaced some 1,200 individuals, and the humanitarian situation of those who remain is deteriorating with every passing hour.
