Syria: white cloak covers Damascus

In a country where the scenery is of war, and perhaps because the storm didn't arrive here with such force as to neighbouring countries, many people took to the streets to enjoy themselves. Nahed Kaddah, a student from Damascus, vents:

"I am very happy. I hope the snow bring back happiness to Syria, something we haven't seen in a long time, after so much suffering. I hope that snow can ease the pain of the people ".

But the storm is a sign of a truce in Holms. In this town, even in adverse weather conditions, continue the shootings.

Already in refugee camps Syrians negative temperatures flog those who fled the war. Oum Mohammed is a refugee in Lebanon and explains:

"I don't have blankets for children, have nine children, and none can work, I'll get the water, even with the snow, to wash them and give them to drink. What can I do in this war that hit us? Look at us, we don't have a proper tent. We want tents, food for children, how can they eat and live with this time? "

The Storm makes more visible the weaknesses of a country struggling to overcome the difficulties that more than nine million people are living.
