NORTHERN ALEPPO COUNTRYSIDE — In the Syrian province of Idlib, where hundreds of thousands of internally displaced Syrians struggle to make a living, a new initiative has revived the communal spirit, through a much-needed clothing drive.
In the first stage, Oct. 10-Nov. 10, campaign organizers placed five collection and distribution boxes in various parts of Saraqeb, a small town 12 miles southeast of the city of Idlib. The haul was then organized for distribution to the needy before the harsh winter sets in.
