The conflict in Syria is in its ninth brutal year, and tens of thousands of families have had their lives torn apart.

Families urgently need food, shelter and medical care.

Imagine going to work every day in a conflict zone for a wage that barely buys enough food for your family - then coming home to your children who are frightened, hungry and struggling to keep warm? This is everyday life for Sobhi and his family. Families in Syria, like Sobhi's, are not safe.

A small act of kindness can give hope to people who have lost so much.

Please note: The Syria Crisis Appeal will cover numerous countries including those currently affected and those potentially affected in the future. In the unlikely event that we raise more money than can be reasonably and efficiently spent, any surplus funds will be used to help us prepare for and respond to other humanitarian disasters anywhere in the world
