The people of Syria have endured over 8 years of war.

Official figures reveal that over 13 million people across Syria – which is above 70% of the population - are in urgent need of humanitarian aid, over 5 million of those being children. 7 million Syrians have been forced to flee their country, 13.5 million people need humanitarian aid within Syria, 60% of Syrian hospitals are now closed and 2.8 million Syrian children don’t go to school.

Penny Appeal’s emergency teams have been delivering aid in Syria since the war began, helping an amazing 144,668 Syrian people in the last 8 years.

COVID-19 has hit Syria and with their limited resources, an uncontrolled outbreak could be devastating.

With more than half of the country’s hospitals destroyed or damaged, the Syrian people are at extreme risk of a rapid spread of the coronavirus. There are six million internally displaced Syrians, many living in overcrowded refugee camps, with no way to protect themselves against this deadly virus

As the world turns its face away from Syria’s long and messy war, and the horrifying potential of an rapidly spreading coronavirus outbreak, terrified displaced Syrians are left wondering if anyone really cares.

But we care. And together, we can make a difference.

We will be providing food packs to 120 Syrian familes inside Syria as well as the Turkish border. 

The cost of one food pack is £50

Every donation – however small – helps Syrian people to survive.

Support Syria in their hour of greatest need.
