Save Syrian Lives – Key Facts

A violent crackdown on peaceful protestors led Syria into a full-blown civil war. Since the start of the conflict, the Syrian regime has indiscriminately killed and prosecuted anyone who came in their pursuit of clinging on the power.

Since the start of the conflict in 2011, more than 6 million Syrians have been forced to flee their country. Over 7 million have been driven away from their homes but are still trapped inside the country. A vast majority of Syrian refugees who fled the country have managed to find safety from bombardment and torture in neighbouring countries.

Where are Syrians fleeing to?

There are over 7 million Syrians displaced within Syria. They are currently living in small settlements and temporary accommodations like tents and makeshift houses. Often these camps are overcrowded and lack the basic necessities of life. The following countries are hosting the Syrian Refugees.

  • Turkey is hosting over 3.6 Syrian refugees and is the biggest taker of Syrian Refugees since the start of the Syrian War
  • Lebanon is home to over 944,000 Syrian refugees
  • Jordan has provided refuge to over 676,000 Syrians
  • German has taken in over 532,000 Syrians affected by the war
  • Iraq is home to over 253,000 Syrian Refugees
  • Egypt is hosting over 133,000 Syrian Refugees
  • Sweden has provided refuge to over 109,000 Syrian Refugees
  • Sudan is home to over 94,000 Syrians
  • Austria is providing safe haven to over 49,000 Syrians
  • The Netherlands is housing over 32,000 Syrian Refugees

83% of Syrian Refugees are still living in countries bordering Syria

Most of the refugees living in neighouring countries are living in temporary accommodations and lack access to nutritional food, clean drinking water, sanitation and safety from harsh weather conditions.

Syrian Refugees Facing Hardship – Gift Of Food

Living in these camp cities Syrian refugees’ struggles are increasing every day. Refugees living in these camps lack access to proper healthcare, sanitation, education, nutritional foods or clean drinking water. Every winter families are exposed to the harsh winter conditions and every summer they have nowhere to escape from the extreme heat and temperatures. It is a daily battle for many Syrian families as their lives have changed due to internal conflicts within the country.

What we take for granted, such as food, water and shelter is something of a challenge for Syrian families. On top of this, low wages have made it difficult for Syrian families to provide food and water for their children. With your help, you can help contribute towards a better life for Syrian refugees and help them get access to clean water, proper food and shelter.

There are thousands and thousands of Syrian refugees in Turkey but the country has struggled to cope with the huge number. This has led to shortages in food and therefore, our teams have dedicated people to deliver food packs to people that are living in poverty throughout towns and refugee camps.
