Syrian Refugees

Islamic Relief providing urgent support amid a critical time

OUR TEAMS ARE DELIVERING Ongoing SUPPORT

Over 10 Years of Crisis

For over 14 years, the crisis in Syria has taken a brutal toll on its civilian population.

 

Even with the end of the tyrannical regime on 8th December, 2024, the crisis continues. 16.7 million people remain in urgent need of aid. 90 per cent live below the poverty line, with 12.9 million people facing food insecurity. Over 2.4 million children are also out of school.

 

Syria, due to the civil war and the aftermath of the 2023 earthquakes, also remains one of the largest displacement and refugee crises in the world. 7.2 million internally displaced people (IDPs). As well as 6.2 million refugees, primarily hosted in the neighbouring countries of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Türkiye.

 

Today, more than 14 million displaced Syrians and Syrian refugees desperately need humanitarian aid. Many are orphans, widows and elderly, struggling to survive without external support.

Earthquake Aftermath on Displaced Syrians

On Monday, February 6, 2023, the worst earthquake in 100 years struck northwest Syria and southeast Türkiye. For Syrians, the disaster left a death of over 6,000, while thousands more remained injured, homeless or missing under the rubble.

 

In a country rife with 12 years of civil war, poor infrastructure and long-lasting poverty, the aftermath of the Syria earthquake has been devastating. 1,460 buildings were destroyed, with thousands more damaged, almost beyond repair.

 

Even a year after the earthquake, there remains a huge need for reception centres, shelters, food, and medical support for Syrian refugees and displaced Syrians.

Our Recovery Support for the Earthquake

Beyond our immediate emergency response, we are in the second stage of rebuilding the lives of affected Syrians.

 

Islamic Relief remains committed to restoring dignity and rebuilding lives for the people of Türkiye and Syrian refugees, long after the news cycle has died down.

Islamic Relief is supporting Syrian refugees

Islamic Relief has been providing on the ground support for Syrian refugees for over 18 years. Through 14 years of war and its aftermath, Islamic Relief continues to stand by the people of Syria.  

 

As one of the largest aid organisations supporting Syrian refugees and displaced Syrians, the generosity of our supporters means Islamic Relief remains a lifeline for many.

 

Through our shared global efforts, Islamic Relief has supported over 1.2 million people with our food assistance, emergency response and health projects and delivered winterisation support to over 66,000 people. We also helped over 33,000 people during Ramadan and Dhul Hijjah. 

 

And yet, there is still so much more that needs to be done. We are continuing to provide emergency shelter, urgent food support and mobile and vital medical care to communities and families. Help us reach the countless voices pleading to be heard today.
