Syria Crisis Appeal
In the midst of one of the most heart-wrenching crises of our time, the Syrian Civil War has left millions scarred, both emotionally and physically. The echoes of their pleas and the weight of their sorrow resonate across borders, as countless Syrians find themselves trapped between the fury of their own government and the terror of extremist factions. Since 2011, a staggering wave of refugees has sought sanctuary in Turkey and neighbouring countries, all aiming to escape the relentless torment of war.
Yet, fleeing the battlefield often leads them to another form of struggle—life in refugee camps. Here, even the simplest necessities become luxuries, and the hope for a better tomorrow seems distant.
Amid this despair, Unite 4 Humanity’s (U4H) team of devoted volunteers is a shining symbol of hope. Compassionately and tirelessly, they deliver life-saving aid to the vulnerable. They’ve been more than just bystanders; they’ve become the lifeline for many, providing essential food aid and distributing zakat donations directly to those who need it most in these camps.
The Syria Crisis Appeal is not merely about offering help; it’s about restoring dignity, hope, and life. Stand with Unite 4 Humanity. Stand with Syria.
Background To Syrian Crisis
What began in 2011 as a call for change quickly spiralled into a devastating civil war, altering Syria’s landscape forever. Today, the ramifications are palpable: over half of Syria’s inhabitants have been displaced, seeking refuge in neighbouring countries like Turkey and Lebanon.
In these refugee camps, Syrian families grapple with the harsh realities of life. From battling severe weather conditions without adequate shelter to the scarcity of essential resources like food and medical care, every day is a fight for survival.
The Syria Crisis Appeal aims to highlight the profound challenges these refugees face. It’s not just about offering help; it’s about understanding their suffering and standing in solidarity with them in their direst moments. Your support can provide a beacon of hope in their darkest days.
– 6.8 million Syrians are refugees in neighbouring countries
– 6.7 million Syrians are displaced within Syria
– 11.1 million in Syria need urgent humanitarian assistance
– 50% of the people affected by this crisis are children
– Children born in refugee camps are the most in need
SYRIAN REFUGEES IN NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES
Syrian Refugees in Turkey
Turkey has been hosting more than 3 million Syrian refugees since the start of the war. Turkey has been at the forefront of helping the Syrians find a safe haven away from their homeland.
Syrian Refugees in Lebanon
In Lebanon, life is a daily struggle for more than a million Syrian refugees, who have little or no financial resources. Around 70 per cent live below the poverty line. There are no formal refugee camps and, as a result, Syrians are scattered throughout more than 2,100 urban and rural communities and locations, often sharing small basic lodgings with other refugee families in overcrowded conditions.
Syrian Refugees in Jordan
In Jordan, over half a million Syrian men, women and children are currently trapped in exile. Approximately 80 per cent of them live outside camps, while more than 150,000 have found sanctuary at the camps of Za’atari and Azraq. Many have arrived with limited means to cover even basic needs, and those who could at first rely on savings or support from host families are now increasingly in need of help. It is estimated that 93 per cent of refugees in Jordan live below the poverty line.
Syrian Refugees in Iraq & Egypt
Iraq has also seen a growing number of Syrians arriving, hosting more than 200,000, while Egypt also provides protection and assistance to over 100,000 Syrian Refugees.
Syrian Refugees in Saudi Arabia
Long before the start of the Syrian conflict in 2012, Syrians had been finding safe haven in Saudi Arabia. However, since the conflict began, over half a million Syrians have made Saudi Arabia their home.

The war-ravaged alleys of Syria are filled with the resilient spirit and hopeful gazes of its youngest inhabitants. However, many of these tender souls bear the heavy title of ‘orphan’.

Allah mentions in the Qur’an: “And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive…” (Surah Al-Insan, 76:8). By choosing to Sponsor an Orphan in Syria, you not only heed a divine directive but also kindle hope and aspirations in a young heart.
