I am not an atheist; but these will surely make you one! - The story of the children; Series one

The Syrian crisis or the Syrian uprising is not alien to our minds that could only see the wrath of Syrian civil war in the newspaper and news channel headlines which began in the year 2011. Well the war led to a death toll of thousands and ten thousands and since then Syria has always inflicted pain and fear in our minds and hearts.

I am not basically an atheist. I do believe in some sort of positive energy that can motivate us to do many things, it is up to each one of us to decide whether to call it GOD or by some name. But these images will really make you question what you call 'God'.

There is nothing to be told better than these pictures I have found from various sources around the internet. The children have always suffered in wars. Many have been killed more than the adults.

Many injured. Many homeless. Many starving.

The picture below was one that went viral on the internet during the uprising. We will never forget this child who "SURRENDERED TO THE CAMERA" thinking that the camera was a gun that was meant to shoot him to death.

It proves something very important in the case of kids. SCARS in the mind can never be healed. FEAR of the heart can never be repealed.

Human rights in Syria have always been a subject of extreme criticism. The rule of Bashar al-Assad was always seen unsuccessful by the people of Syria in terms of implementing democracy and they protested for a long time against the Syrian government for rights of expression, assembly and association. The women and children face a lot of discrimination. The arrested activists are imprisoned in poor conditions and violence was always a means of punishment. What else is needed as a reason to protest against the government? Well, more violence followed.

Have a look at these two pictures, not for the pity but to know what world around you looks like.

One is a baby that got bombed and the other is a father kissing goodbye to his dead baby.

Why are the children starving to death then?

As a matter of fact this can be seen as a warfare method. The opposition-held areas of Syria have civilians who can hardly access food from neighbouring areas. There are many humanitarian agencies working near these ares but are not allowed inside them by the government itlsef. The refugee camps suffer from lack of medical aid too which adds to the existing problem of starvation. Many civilians are even targeted and shot when they are outside on the fields in search of food.

Some parcels of food once in a blue moon cannot provide nutrition to the babies and children. May be it can put out the hunger of the older ones. There are children out there eating even grass in their pitiable conditions of hunger and starvation as reported by some news sources. Should the kids die and suffer because of a war crisis? 

When we selfishly wish to god for small things in life like getting a latest movie ticket, getting a stylish outfit and even sometimes wish for tasty sumptuous food as dinner, imagine the faces of these kids dying of hunger; I am sure you would not wish for any more luxury when they dont even have the basic amenities like food, water and medicine.

I know that this is a pretty big article but I assure it will only boost your morale in being selfless 'to an extent'. When the UN and many other organisations and individuals are trying to help these children many are dying everyday due to malnutrition and starvation. MY only QUESTION: I am nobody to question god, but don't gods hear these kids?
