Syria's
civil war
The
Syria's civil war is one of the worst humanitarian disasters of our
time.
The
number of innocent civilians affected by the war is more than nine
million people currently. The anti-government demonstrations began in
March, 2011. Three years after it began, the civil war has killed
over 190000 people, half of whom are believed to be civilians.
Thousands
of Syrians flee away from their own country every day and there are
around three million Syrian refugees. All this refugees are living
under bad conditions such as the lack of water, clothes and education
for childrens.
In
December 2013, the U.N. issued its largest ever appeal for a single
crisis — according to their estimates, $6.5 billion is necessary to
meet the needs of all those affected by the crisis, both inside and
outside Syria, an increase from last year's $5 billion. Yet that
previous appeal was only 62% funded.
People
has worked in the region for 20 years and are committed to help
Syrians and the countries hosting them for as long as it takes. But
as the number of those in need keep increasing, your support is
always needed. Here’s a list of things you can do to make a
difference for Syrian refugees:
