Thousands of Syrian refugees in Egypt to receive support from a new aid program launched by Plan

It’s been three years since the bloody conflict in Syria erupted. More than 100,000 have died and millions of women and children are still pouring into neighbouring countries seeking aid, protection and shelter. “Violence has left devastating marks on children’s lives,” says Unni Krishnan, Head of Disaster Preparedness and Response at Plan International.

“We can’t continue to fail them. What is at stake is the lives and future of a whole generation of Syrian children – both refugees in Egypt and children who are displaced within Syria,” he adds.
An estimated 333,000 Syrian refugees are in Egypt, with around 35,000 in the coastal city of Alexandria. Around half of them are children.
