As of February 2016, they announced that there are 4.6 million Syrian refugees who require humanitarian assistance. The numbers of people who have lost their lives in unverifiable, but sources estimate the death toll as high as 232,000 people.

Over 1,000 refugees are leaving Syria and travelling to Jordan every single day. The total number of people who have left the country is now over 4 million. Half of these are children.

Having been to an Iftar gathering focused on the plight of Syrian refugees, speaking to the Human Relief Foundation volunteers who went to Jordan to deliver essential food packages, we have decided to pledge £1,200 to help.

Your zakat donations will also be accepted. Please give generously.
