The Misfortunate Family is grappling with an ongoing challenge as they strive to survive in a tense predicament created by their relatives in the shelter camps of Idlib, where civilians have sought refuge due to the assaults by the Assad regime in Syria. Their 14-month-old child, Muhammed, was born without limbs, and the family is desperate for assistance and support.

Rasid, along with his family, is living in a tent because of his relatives’ displacement to the camps where civilians have taken shelter in Idlib. Muhammed grapples with several physical issues, most of which affect his day-to-day life, finding solace and companionship. Halit Misayif, Muhammed’s father, expressed in a statement that his son was born without arms and legs, requiring constant care and attention.

Halit Misayif, as the father of little Muhammed, emphasized in a statement that his son was born without arms and legs. “Muhammed requires constant care and attention. He needs to be held all the time. We are living here in the camp, where we cannot protect him from the heat in summer and the cold in winter,” Misayif expressed, highlighting the challenges they face in providing adequate care for Muhammed’s well-being.

“I struggle to find milk for my child,” he added, underscoring the difficulties they encounter in securing essential supplies for Muhammed’s well-being.

Misayif himself has mobility issues due to injuries sustained during the attacks by the Assad regime, further complicating his ability to care for his family. “I cannot find work. I struggle to find milk for my child. The prices of medications have skyrocketed before. I hope Muhammed can compete in society with other children,” he shared, revealing the depth of the hardships they endure.

The Misayif family’s plight exemplifies the immense challenges faced by families in conflict-affected regions, especially those with children who have disabilities. Their story serves as a reminder of the urgent need for assistance and support to ensure the well-being and future prospects of children like Muhammed.

Our collective responsibility is to extend a helping hand, advocate for their rights, and work towards creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for children with disabilities and their families. This includes facilitating access to necessary resources, healthcare, and opportunities for a better future.
