Syria Faces COVID-19 Pandemic

The arrival COVID-19 has sparked major concerns for the safety of Syrian children living in over-populated refugee camps.

In crowded conditions, where social distancing is impossible and sanitation is limited, a COVID-19 outbreak would be deadly.

We’re working to prevent the spread of coronavirus in Syria by working to install hand-washing facilities and distribute soap and other sanitation items.

However this is not enough. Children desperately need better access to clean water, food, medicine and life-saving vaccines.

We need your support to reach every child.

Child Malnutrition in Syria

9.3 million Syrians are now food insecure. Ongoing conflict has left Syria’s economy near collapse, pushing millions of people into hunger and food insecurity. 

Right now, 1 in 5 families are struggling to buy food and chronic malnutrition continues to be a major health problem with 137,000 children suffering from acute malnutrition.

Please help us save children’s lives.
