Sydney, NSW – Sunday, 8 December 2024 – The Assyrian National Council - Australia Inc. (ANCA) expresses its grave concern over the rapidly escalating situation in Syria, particularly the alarming reports indicating that the city of Damascus may soon face significant upheaval.
We are deeply troubled by the potential impact these events could have on the safety, security, and wellbeing of the Assyrians residing in the city and surrounding areas.
In response to these developments, the ANCA has called on an urgent meeting for Wednesday, 11 December 2024 with various community stakeholders to assess the challenges posed by the unfolding crisis.
We hope that through this meeting, we will develop a coordinated approach to advocate for urgent action by relevant international bodies.
The ANCA calls upon the international community to take immediate and effective measures to safeguard the lives of vulnerable populations, including Indigenous Assyrians, and to ensure that humanitarian aid and protection reach those in need.
We stand in solidarity with our Assyrian people in Syria during this critical time and urge all parties involved to prioritise peace and the preservation of human life.
