Now that there is peace in Damascus and much of Syria, there are still other levels of suffering, particularly the economic situation after over 9 years war and under the brutal western criminal sanctions on Syria.

People are not suffering overwhelmingly from Corona here (according to the official government statistics, as of April 21: "42 cases, 6 of them have recovered while 3 have died.") but they are suffering all over the country from the devastation of Syria's economy and the sanctions. Just a note to balance out the otherwise happy vibe. The people have been put thru hell and back.
