As the war in Syria enters its tenth year, the devastation continues. Today, 11.1 million Syrians are in need of humanitarian assistance, many of whom have been forced to flee their homes. There are more than 6 million Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in Syria and 5.6 million refugees in other countries around the world. 2.98 million people are located in hard-to-reach and besieged areas. 6.6 million Syrians are unable to meet their food needs and an additional 4 million are at risk of becoming food insecure.
The ongoing conflict continues to force Syrian families to flee their homes. Often leaving at a moment’s notice, these families are unable to pack important materials to support themselves as they move to safer areas. These mobile populations face serious health and safety risks and are in desperate need of humanitarian support.
