Syria Crisis Appeal

Children and families affected by the conflict in Syria are in dire need of help. There has been a dramatic deterioration in the crisis since the beginning of the year -– and the catastrophe is escalating every day.

There are an estimated three million people displaced in total and the number of refugees crossing the border from Syria into neighbouring countries has doubled -– to one million -– over the past three months.

Right now, hundreds of thousands of children need food, blankets, medicines, safe drinking water and psychological support. Just as importantly for their longer term development they also need the chance to live, play and learn safely -– and to enjoy the semblance of a normal childhood, even in a crisis like this.

Help needed for thousands of children in Mali

Women and children are in desperate need of the basics – food, water and shelter - as fighting continues across Mali, leaving 376 000 people displaced and many without access to aid.

In the days following the fighting that erupted on January 10th, at least 10,000 more Malians have abandoned their homes and joined the hundreds of thousands that are already displaced. The UN refugee agency predicts this number will rise to more than 750 000 throughout the year.
