War in Ukraine - Deadly Shock Waves of Hunger
By CARE | CARE's Crisis Response Team
CARE continues its work in Syria. Currently, the war in Ukraine is disrupting global food production and causing catastrophic famine worldwide.
The situation is fraying the world’s safety net as rising costs have forced the U.N. World Food Programme to cut rations in countries like Yemen – where a long-running conflict has left 80% of the population in need of humanitarian aid. In many places, refugees and displaced people – like those forced from their homes in Syria – are especially vulnerable. Overall, the broader effects of the war in Ukraine on food supplies and prices threaten the world’s most vulnerable people – especially women and girls – with hunger and deeper poverty. CARE has launched a two-year budget request: $250 million for afull-scale response covering 17 countries, which includes Syria.

Syria Crisis Humanitarian Fund
By CARE | CARE writing team
After a decade of crisis, more people than ever are in need
Background:
Ten years into the conflice in Syria, which triggered one of the largest mass population displacements in history, the situation remains one of the world's most complex humanitarian crises. Ongoing hostilities continue to force families from their homes- with some being displaced multiple times. Even as hundreds of thousands of people try to return to their homes in Syria, an estimated 6.7 million remain displace inside the country, with nearly 5.7 million living as refugees, mostly in neighboring countries.
A spiraling economic crisis and the freefall in value of the Syrian currency have left more than 90% of population below the poverty line. An estimated 13.4 million Syrians are in need of humanitarian assistance - a 21% increase from 2020. While violence has decreased from the peak of the conflict, widespread destruction of homes, health care facilities and other infrastructure continues to cause immense suffering and hinder recovery. Economic crisis and the effects of the COVD-19 pandemic are causing distress to Syrian refugee populations in many countries.
