With over 11 years of responding to humanitarian emergencies in Syria and neighbouring countries, our mobilised teams on the ground are working quickly to deliver emergency holistic kits (including tents, food parcels and hygiene kits), hot meals, fuel for warmth and urgent medical support for crippling emergency health facilities.
This is another traumatic event which will impact the lives of children and families in Syria, who have already endured 12 years of brutal conflict. Virtually every village in war-torn and poverty-stricken Syria has been impacted. This is an emergency of an unimaginable scale.
With the death toll in the hundreds and rising, and countless injured - we are launching a full scale emergency campaign to help support those displaced and injured, as well as the health systems and infrastructure everyone needs. With so many people displaced and the winter weather deteriorating, we are in a race against time to help people. - Othman Moqbel, CEO, Action For Humanity.
I'm trying to find somewhere warm and safe for my children for fear of tremors and further earthquakes, while also helping those in need of aid. It's a devastating situation to be in. We need the international community to act immediately. - Hani Habbal, Head of Programmes, Action For Humanity.
