Story

The conflict in Syria has escalated in the Idlib province to the point of extreme violence, leaving 875,000 people to flee in fear for their lives. 

Since the end of April, at least 1,506 innocent Syrians have been killed due to the terror here. The crisis in Syria has already displaced more than 6.5 million refugees internally, while over 3 million more have fled to neighbouring countries for safety. Now hundreds of thousands more are forced to flee from danger in Idlib.

Penny Appeal have been on the ground in Syria since the war began, and with your help, we have provided over 150,000 people with life-saving food, medical aid, water and emergency shelter.

We are currently on the ground in Raqqa and Hasaka, where thousands of displaced families from Northern Syria have already fled, continuing to protect innocent people’s lives.

As the world turns its face away from Syria’s long and messy war, terrified residents and displaced people in Idlib are left wondering if anyone really cares.

But we care. And together, we can make a difference. 

Every donation – however small – helps Syrian people to survive.
