I am a journalist who has worked with several local and international media agencies and channels since 2013. These include: CNN, Anadolu Agency, The New Arab, BBC, Smart News Agency, and Zaman al Wasl. My work includes photographs, albums, prepared written TV reports, and articles. My real name is Firas Aljazzar (in Turkish it is Firaz El Cezar). I changed my name to Qusay Noor in 2011 for my own safety when I began publishing pictures I took of the atrocities happening in Damascus, Syria. I lived with my family in Eastern Ghouta and I was working in nearby Damascus. As close as Eastern Ghouta was to Damascus, people there still didn't believe the stories of what was happening to innocent civilians at the hands of the Assad regime. I wanted friends in Eastern Ghouta to see and understand the truth, so I began sharing photos online, (under the name Qusay Noor), for them and the world to see. In August, 2013 the Assad regime attacked our city of Eastern Ghouta with the chemical gas, sarin, killing and injuring over 1400 civilians, many of them children. For over five years, we were bombed, attacked, and surrounded by Assad's soldiers who stopped food and medicine from coming in to us. In 2015 my father was killed by a bomb dropped on the mosque as he was inside praying. Most of our time was spent in basements being used as bomb shelters, praying we were not buried there to die in the rubble. In 2018 while under siege, there was another chemical attack in nearby Douma. Finally by an agreement made with the regime, the remaining people of Ghouta were transported by bus to Idlib. We remained there until the end of the year when we were able to travel to Istanbul, Turkey. All the while, I continued my work under the name Qusay Noor until recently when I felt it was safe to reveal my true name, Firas Aljazzar.
