The Revd Andrew Ashdown has been a frequent visitor to Syria. He shares his experience of the vital work being undertaken by local humanitarian agencies caring for the victims of the war in Syria, yet sadly, largely ignored by the international media. He compares this with the media attention given to the well-funded Western-backed White Helmets.
