Let's not forget Northwestern Syria
06 Oct 2020
The situation in Northwest Syria is becoming more dire by the day. With winter encroaching, the Covid-19 infection rates are rising, with already 100 new cases being reported a day. This is more than 14 times the September rate. Some 2.7 million people remain displaced in the area and access to adequate medical services are inadequate. The Covid threat has impacted what little work was available and made people more reliant on aid and without an increase in funding more people are likely to suffer. The coming winter also brings an added danger for young infants who are especially vulnerable to freezing conditions as witnessed in the loss of 6 infants to the cold in the last winter.
There are currently a record 9.3 million Syrians who are food insecure and this number threatens to grow by another two million people who are at risk of being pushed into hunger and food insecurity without rapid assistance. The economic crisis which has seen the price of food triple in the past year has left many families with no option but to decrease the amount and number of meals they eat and to take debts in order to buy food, this could have long term affects on malnutrition levels and stunting amongst children.
At a time like this the people of Idlib and greater North-west Syria need our aid more than ever.

SYRIAN IDPs NEED YOUR SUPPORT
07 Jul 2020
In Idlib and other parts of the Syrian northwest, the Turkey-Russia ceasefire seems to face a bleak fate, with fighting and aerial bombardments reported since May. Home to over 4 million people, many of whom have been displaced multiple times, the Idlib and northern Aleppo governorates face catastrophe if there is a Covid-19 outbreak. Many live in squalid overcrowded IDP camps or sleep out in the open. Water is scarce, and the health and civilian infrastructures have been decimated. In recent weeks, a new wave of violence in southern Idlib has forced hundreds of families to pack up their few belongings and leave their homes and tents once again.
YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR THESE FAMILIES IS VITAL
IDP Shelters
31 May 2020
With generous sponsorship from our donors, we have been able to establish semi-permanent brick shelters for Syrian IDPs in Idlib and Northern Aleppo. These shelters are more durable than tents and offer better protection against the elements. The shelters were installed with toilet blocks for males and females and handed over together with household supplies including kitchen sets, mats, mattresses, hygiene kits, solar torches, and other items. Food hampers were also delivered to the families. One hundred shelters have each been established in Azaz in Northern Aleppo and in Idlib.
IDP CRISIS
23 Apr 2020
The year 2020 started with some of the worst human suffering in all nine previous years of the Syrian crisis. A million new IDPs are now in horribly overpopulated conditions along the Turkish border and they need your support to survive. They are facing an extremely difficult conditions under the threat of COVID-19, in pitifully overcrowded camps with limited essential facilities. Help provide regular food aid, hygiene kits and other essential aid. It's the least we can do for our Syrian brethren.
SYRIAN IDPs HAVE A RIGHT. LET’S FULFILL IT.
The worst it's been
26 Feb 2020
Over the past three months more than a million newly displaced persons have fled ongoing violence in Noth-west Syria with tens of thousands on the move daily. Civilian infrastructure and even camps hosting the displaced have been struck with impunity. The displaced are 80 % women and children with children numbering 500 000. These families are having to live in the barest conditions as humanitarian organisations are struggling to cope. Tents have run out and many tens of thousands are sleeping in the open in cold, wet and even snowy conditions.
In this context your donations are needed more than ever. It is nine years on but the crisis is at its worst.

Escalation's in December 2019
05 Jan 2020
Escalations of conflict in North-west Syria since mid-December have caused 298 000 new displacements already, including 175 000 children. More than 80% of the displaced are women and children. Airstrikes have hit areas where displaced families have gathered leading to significant civilian deaths. The winter season means families have had to flee with almost nothing, under torrential rains and in night-time temperatures close to freezing. They have been settling in tents, flooded camps, destroyed buildings, under trees or out in the open. The desperation is beyond belief and the needs on the ground are growing by the minute. It is heart wrenching that after 9 years the Syrian people are still going through this.
Al-Imdaad Foundation will be delivering emergency items including food aid, mattresses, blankets and hygiene packs to newly displaced Syrian families. These are people who have been driven from displacement to displacement, with each escalation a new tragedy and a new bid for survival.

Escalations Soar in North-western Syria
05 May 2019
Since the beginning of May 2019, the situation in North-western Syria has once again taken a turn for the worst. Regime airstrikes have increased in Northern Hama and Southern Idlib causing up to 150 000 IDPs to flee. Already 77 deaths have been recorded, many of them civilians. The threat of a large scale battle in Idlib with dire humanitarian consequences is escalating as the truce that has held together over the last few months begins to fray. It is nine years into the Syrian crisis and still millions live a life of daily struggle.
