Syrian architect uses drone footage to help rebuild hometown - Region
Syrian architect Abdel Aziz al-Mohammed could barely recognise his war-ravaged village when he returned after years away. Now, his meticulous documentation of the damage using a drone helps to rebuild it. "When I first came back, I was shocked by the extent of the destruction," said Mohammed, 34. Walking through his devastated village of Tal Mardikh, in Syria's northwestern Idlib province, he said he could not recognise "anything, I couldn't even find my parents' home". Nearly half of Tal Mardikh's 1,500 homes have been destroyed and the rest damaged, mainly due to bombardment by the former Syrian army. Mohammed, who in 2019 fled the bombardment to near the Turkish border, first returned days after an Islamist-led offensive toppled longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad in December. The architect, now based in Idlib city, had documented details of Tal Mardikh's houses and streets before fleeing, and afterwards used his drone to document the destruction. Syrian architect Abdel Aziz al-Mohammed (L) shows on a tablet an interactive map that he created, revealing the detailed conditions of each house in his village Tal Mardikh, in Syria's northwestern Idlib province. AFP When he returned, he spent two weeks carefully surveying the area, going from home to home and creating an interactive map showing the detailed conditions of each house. "We entered homes in fear, not knowing what was inside, as the regime controlled the area for five years," he said. Syrian architect Abdel Aziz al-Mohammed (R) speaks to workers during the restoration of a house in his village Tal Mardikh. AFP This aerial photograph shows a partial view of the village of Tal Mardikh, in Syria's northwestern Idlib province. AFP Under the blazing sun, Mohammed watched as workers restored a house in Tal Mardikh, which adjoins the archaeological site of Ebla, the seat of one of ancient Syria's earliest kingdoms. His documentation of the village helped gain support from Shafak, a Turkey-based non-governmental organisation which agreed to fund the reconstruction and rehabilitation of 434 out of 800 damaged homes in Tal Mardikh. The work is expected to be completed in August, and includes the restoration of two wells and sanitation networks, at a cost of more than one million dollars. Syrian architect Abdel Aziz al-Mohammed (R) works with a colleague in his village Tal Mardikh, in Syria's northwestern Idlib province. AFP 'Full of hope' Syrians have begun returning home after Assad's ouster and following nearly 14 years of civil war that killed over half a million people and displaced millions of others internally and abroad. According to the United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR, more than 600,000 Syrians had returned home from abroad, while around 1.5 million internally displaced people have gone back to their regions of origin. The agency estimates that up to 1.5 million Syrians from abroad and two million internally displaced people could return by the end of this year. Around 13.5 million currently remain displaced internally or abroad, according to UNHCR figures for May. In Tal Mardikh, Alaa Gharib, 45, is among only a few dozen residents who have come back. "I lived in tents for seven years, and when liberation came, I returned to my village," said Gharib, whose home is among those set for restoration. He is using a blanket as a makeshift door for his house which had "no doors, no windows, nothing". After Western sanctions were lifted, Syria's new authorities are hoping for international support for post-war reconstruction, which the UN estimates could cost more than $400 billion. Efforts have so far been limited to individuals or charities, with the government yet to launch a reconstruction campaign. Architect Mohammed said his dream was "for the village to be rebuilt, for people and life to return". He expressed hope to "see the Syria we dream of... the Syria full of hope, built by its youth".

Pope Leo XIV Calls for Compassion, Courage, and Human Connection at Weekly Audience
Ahmed Emam Speaking to thousands gathered in St. Peter's Square during his weekly General Audience, Pope Leo XIV emphasized themes of resilience, personal responsibility, and the importance of caring for others—especially in times of hardship. The address focused on two stories drawn from traditional texts that illustrate perseverance in the face of suffering and the value of human dignity and connection. The Pope spoke of a woman marginalized by society due to illness, and a father grieving for his daughter. Both individuals, he said, found the strength to act out of love and desperation—reminding listeners of the human instinct to seek care and support even in moments of despair. 'These episodes highlight the universal human experience of vulnerability,' he said. 'But they also remind us that reaching out, even in silence, is a powerful act of courage.' Pope Leo underlined the importance of practical care, especially in families. He described a symbolic moment where a young girl, having recovered from a life-threatening condition, is told to eat. This, he explained, points to the need for both emotional and physical nourishment in recovery and daily life. 'Do we provide that kind of nourishment to those who depend on us—especially our children?' he asked. 'Not just food, but attention, love, and values?' Acknowledging the weight many carry—disappointment, exhaustion, or personal crisis—the Pope urged people not to withdraw or lose heart. 'Don't stay still,' he said. 'Reach out. Care. Act. That is how we move forward.' He concluded by encouraging attendees to embrace change and become sources of support and encouragement to others, noting that even small acts can lead to personal and collective renewal. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
