More than 2 million Syrians have fled their country,
according to the United Nations refugee agency. With nowhere to go
and often with just the clothes on their backs, many end up in
refugee camps that are both overcrowded and overwhelmed.
There are 4 million Syrian children are suffering as a result of a horrific
conflict – one of the worst humanitarian crises of our time -
which is now stretching into its third year. Two million people
have fled to neighboring countries, but many more remain in
dire need of assistance.
Many
organizations are offering supplies, shelter and medical care for the
people displaced by the crisis and you can help.
Save the Children is helping the children in this crisis with temporary
learning facilities, child friendly spaces and programs to help them
cope with their trauma. They are also providing necessities like food,
blankets and clothing to refugee families. You can support their Syria
Children in Crisis fund by donating online or by calling
1-800-728-3843.
