Russian citizens and Syrian expatriates and students continued to flock to the headquarters of the Syrian embassy in Moscow today, to provide cash donations and in-kind assistance, to contribute to helping the victims of the earthquake that struck Syria.
Syria's ambassador to Moscow, Dr. Bashar al-Jaafari, received some visiting donors, and thanked them for their feelings, solidarity, and synergy with those affected by this earthquake, pointing out that the United States and its followers bear the primary responsibility for the suffering of the Syrian people over the past years, which was exacerbated by the earthquake disaster.
Al-Jaafari also confirmed that Washington’s recent decision to ease some of the restrictions imposed on Syria for a period of only six months is “a hypocritical and deceptive decision and a clear recognition that the US sanctions in particular are the main cause of the pain of the Syrian citizens.”

The Syrian student Ibrahim Salman, who participated with his colleagues in organizing the receipt and sorting of aid, said: “What Syria has been exposed to requires us to fully stand by our country, so this stand, and this campaign to help deliver these donations to our people, was an expression of sympathy and solidarity with our beloved homeland.” .
