Syrian refugees were rescued from war and the Mediterranean death voyages. This happened over two days, specifically December 1 and 2. In fact, 100 people, including families with young children and some disabled, arrived at Fiumicino airport. They fled from several cities in Syria that are under the terror of Daesh and now these individuals have legally and safely reached Italy thanks to the humanitarian corridors.
The number of people rescued via humanitarian corridors rises to 500 by also considering this group.
Many of the Syrians who arrived today are Christians. For instance, Bushra, along with her husband and four children, fled a village near Hassakèh two months ago together with 200 other Assyrian Christians. This occurred just before the village was occupied by Isis. Bushra argues "Now I can finally rest and hope for a beautiful future for my children."
Here are some videos and pictures of their arrival at Fiumicino airport.
