For the people of  Syria, this Ramadan will mark their 7th Ramadan living in a state of war.   

Streets that were once lined with colourful lanterns and twinkling  lights to welcome the holy month are empty, dark and abandoned. The echoes of laughter and happy conversations that once poured into the  streets through open windows and balconies as loved ones gathered for  their evening meal, have fallen silent.    

Today, millions of families across Syria are far away from home, some  witnessing their first Ramadan as refugees in other countries. Others are huddled together in small tents, or living in makeshift shelters -  internally displaced in their own country. For many, their prime focus  will be finding food to feed their family with at the end of each day.   

This Ramadan, we're aiming to feed as many families as possible to ensure everyone has something to break their fast with at the end of a long fasting day.We're operating food kitchens in besieged Damascus, Homs and in Idlib, where our staff will cook fresh, nutritious meals every single day for internally displaced and disadvantaged families.

We'll also be distributing food baskets to families in need, the contents of which can feed a family of six for an entire month.We're also accepting Sadqa and Zakat payments throughout the month.
