Syria crisis appeal: please help now

People affected by fighting in Syria have reached crisis point.

Hundreds of thousands are in desperate need of help, now.

More than 100,000 people have been killed to date, including thousands of children. Faced with daily horrors, over 1.8 million Syrians have fled to neighbouring countries and more than three million are displaced internally.

Outbreaks of hepatitis A and other diseases are a serious problem. Among pregnant women, stress-induced miscarriages and early births are on the rise. And bitter winter temperatures are only exacerbating this misery for all.

Living like this is taking its toll on many Syrians, both physically and mentally.

We’re on the ground providing primary and mental healthcare to tens of thousands of Syrian refugees in Lebanon and Jordan as well as inside Syria.

But people are still suffering and much, much more needs to be done.

How you can help:

£5 provides a family with a hygiene kit or blanket.

£10 pays for a tarpaulin to weather proof a family tent.

£50 enables us to treat 310 children in need of antibiotics.

Please donate now to support our life-saving work.
