Syria

Today We Focus on Syria

Heavy rains and flash flooding have affected at least 41,200 people in northern Syria in the last 30 days. What temporary shelter they did have was completely wiped away. IRUSA has been partnering with to provide people who’ve been left with little food and shelter the resources to rebuild.

Many of the affected families were living in makeshift camps as a result of the ongoing crisis in the area. In one of the assessed camps, 90% of the population is only eating one meal or less per day. Left with nothing, they have little protection from the freezing winter conditions.

More rains are expected, which unfortunately means that the number of displaced family is almost certain to rise in the next few days!

Islamic Relief’s Dedication to Syrians in Need

Violence, poverty, despair unfortunately continue into a tenth year for families across Syria with no end in site and, now, with the added devastation of coronavirus. But we are not hopeless! We envision a better world for our Syrian sisters and brothers, and pray that you will act with us to make that a reality.

Donors like you have made critical resources such as medical aid, education development, and women’s empowerment programs available for thousands. Winter also amplifies their suffering to tragic levels, bringing freezing cold to the thin tents many call home—but donors responded with blankets, warm clothes, and new mattresses.

Every bit of help provides new hope for families. With your continued compassion and support, IRUSA can provide more relief for people in need of aid.

Here’s just a sampling of our recent efforts for Syrians in need

• Distributing vital food aid to families suffering from hunger
• Providing micro financing support to help individuals build livelihoods
• Implementing psychosocial programs to bring much-needed relief to trauma survivors
