Support Syria

“Syria is suffering from the virus of devastation that only humanity can cure. Sad but true.”

~ Payal Kadam ~

Syria is facing an existential crisis, and not unlike Yemen, needs humanitarian aid and assistance. For Syrians to experience peace and stability, we need to step up our support and continue donating.  Your donation can bring relief to thousands of people who live in a state of abject misery.

The armed conflict that began in Syria in 2011 is now entering its 11th year. Pro-government forces and anti-regime militant groups have unleashed a tidal wave of human suffering, and there does not seem to be an end in sight to the fighting and bloodshed, which has claimed the lives of thousands of people.

12.4 million people are food insecure. As the conflict has escalated, more people have become internally displaced and unable to access nutritious food as prices continue to skyrocket. More parents are finding it increasingly difficult to feed their children, as basic foodstuffs are 29 times higher in price than before the conflict began.

As a result, Syria has become heavily reliant on domestic and foreign food aid to survive, and as the fighting continues unabated, your donation is more vital than ever before. Help us feed Syria so that no one goes to bed hungry at night.

The escalation in violence, which has included air raids and the use of artillery in densely populated areas, has led to the destruction of Syria’s infrastructure, including homes, schools, and hospitals, leaving the country reeling.

Amidst the chaos, Syrians now face water shortages. Up to 14.6 million people do not have access to continuous, clean, safe drinking water, while another 7.6 million require urgent access to WASH facilities. Untreated water has led to the outbreak of water-borne diseases like hepatitis and watery diarrhoea. 

The unrelenting attacks on medical facilities and the healthcare sector have decimated up to 50 percent of the country’s healthcare infrastructure, with almost 70 percent of healthcare providers having fled the country for their lives.  The current healthcare system cannot cope with any more demands placed upon it and needs your support to rebuild it so everyone can access adequate healthcare services.
