EMERGENCY SYRIA RESPONSE
Syria's Humanitarian Future
Our organisation was founded weeks after the Syrian Civil War started. We exist then, just as we do now, to provide humanitarian aid to Syrians. Regardless of what happens next, we will be there to support the Syrian people.
Tens of thousands of civilians in Aleppo and Idleb face acute shortages of food, water, and medical care. The escalating violence has forced many to flee their homes, often without access to basic necessities like hygiene items and shelter.
