***DARAA EMERGENCY APPEAL***

The situation in Syria is dire. Syria is in the midst of one of the largest and fastest displacement crises since the start of the conflict. As the Syrian Government Forces has escalated its shelling on Daraa Province. A sudden IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) movement of around people took place according to the UN.

Daraa residents are effectively trapped with nowhere left to flee the onslaught from the sky. Living in makeshift tents in the scorching heat with insufficient food, water or medical care. 

Due to limited intervention and supplies we have to respond immediately. Currently we are unable to provide shelter although we are in the process of trying to secure them from a neighbouring country - however at this  current moment in time even the borders are no longer secure and even aid shipments are being targeted. BUT we have access to providing families with cooked meals in the meantime. 

 Starvation and malnutrition are both rife, claiming the lives of civilians year after year inside Syria, as supplies run dry and aid agencies are unable to gain access to the area.  

Over the years our work in Daraa has been both challenging but essential, and now our work is needed more than ever. We are working on a EMERGENCY co-ordinated response providing  cooked meals costing £6.50 per family.  We can’t carry out our vital work without your support.
