In June 2018, a government offensive in southern Syria displaced more than 190,000 Syrians from Dara'a to Quneitra. With the few belongings they could carry, these families left everything else behind when they fled for safety. RI is the only international organization that had an established presence in Quneitra at the onset of the crisis. We need your help to support these families with immediate health, protection and psychosocial support they require while planning for the longer-term.
A government offensive in southern Syria displaced nearly 500,000 people from Dara'a, Syria. Forced to flee at a moment's notice, these families traversed miles of dangerous desert with whatever belongings they could carry. Searching for refuge, some 190,000 of the displaced Syrians journeyed to Quneitra where RI is the only international organization that had direct operational capacity and the ability to respond.
Thousands of Syrian families have arrived in Quneitra where they require immediate attention. We need your help to support the influx of newly displaced families with medical care, emergency medicines and clean, drinking water. RI has been providing healthcare in Quneitra since 2015, however, the large number of new arrivals have overwhelmed existing resources. We ask you to give today to scale up our long-standing operations in Syria to provide life-saving support to these vulnerable families.
Eight years later, the Syria crisis is far from over. With your gift to RI, you will help us to provide Syrian families with both immediate and longer-term care. Together, we can help ensure vulnerable Syrians survive this assault and have a chance to recover with the safety and dignity they deserve.
