Our humanitarian aid in Syria

After the fall of the Assad regime, there is great hope for a better future in Syria. However, the full extent of the humanitarian situation is also becoming apparent: almost 14 years of civil war and the devastating earthquakes in February 2023 have severely damaged or destroyed the infrastructure in many parts of the country, and the healthcare system is at rock bottom. Millions of people are still displaced and there is a lack of shelter, food and water.

Added to this are problems caused by climate change: a prolonged drought and flooding are restricting access to clean water in particular and leading to significant crop and income losses. The vast majority of Syria's sub-districts are now categorised as being in severe, extreme or catastrophic conditions.

More than 16.7 million people - including women and children in particular - are dependent on humanitarian aid. We have been on the ground with our partner organisations since 2012, providing vital emergency aid.

The people in Syria are in urgent need of your support: Help now!
