For those who need a reminder of how the Syrian regime manipulates international aid & now the earthquake disaster, read this from @KimGhattas - we need a policy designed to help Syrians without giving Assad a free pass https://t.co/9utS3DP0ps

Some mornings it's hard not to cry through the news. More than 5,000 people now dead in this earthquake in Syria and Turkey. First responders working to try to save people in rows of collapsed buildings in Syria with little equipment.

And if you'd to learn more about Alaa Abd el-Fattah and other Middle Eastern writers, consider this episode from the @PeopleLikeUsPod "Narrating the Middle East"
An interesting tidbit: The arab world is translating four times more literature than America.
