Syria Crisis Appeal

Over 80,000 people have now been killed during the continuing conflict, with many more injured or detained. Around 4.25 million people have been displaced from their homes within Syria. More than 1.6 million people have fled Syria to seek refuge in neighbouring countries. 

As the situation continues to deteriorate in Syria, the British Red Cross is calling for more funds to support affected people.

How we are helping in Syria

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is reaching close to two million people every month, but the crisis is expanding.

The British Red Cross has begun a major push to get more aid into Syria ahead of the worsening winter weather.

The British Red Cross will receive £1million from the UK government to provide 10,000 Syrian refugees in Turkey with essential supplies.

The deteriorating humanitarian situation in Syria is placing huge pressure on border countries such as Jordan.
