COVID-19 reporting in three Syrian regions
Funded: SyriaUntold
SyriaUntold is an independent Arabic and English online media platform advancing critical perspectives on Syria and Syrians. They specialise in the dissemination of narrative features, investigative reports and in-depth analysis that illuminate social dynamics and civil society in Syria. Founded in 2012 in Beirut, SyriaUntold has consistently tackled questions of critical importance to civilians, all the while amplifying voices on the margins of society. It began as an independent digital media project exploring the storytelling of the Syrian struggle and the diverse forms of resistance.
The Check Global COVID-19 microgrant funded SyriaUntold to produce extensive media coverage on the updates of the COVID-19 pandemic spreading in different regions in Syria, working on this from August to September 2020. SyriaUntold has produced three reports about COVID-19 spread in three areas including the coastal regions, northern Syria and northeastern Syria. The reports (in Arabic) are listed below:
- COVID-19 spread in the coastal areas in Syria. كورونا في الساحل السوري: انضب في بيتك يا حبيب!
- Northern Syria: who did not die by bombing died from Corona الشمال السوري: من لم يمت بالقصف مات بكورونا!
- COVID-19 in northeastern Syria: “a lean man in the face of a storm” كورونا في شمال شرق سوريا “رجل هزيل في مواجهة عاصفة”
