Manchester, 16 December 2024 - Human Appeal, one of the UK’s leading humanitarian aid organisations, announces its latest deployment of aid in Syria and is calling for increased support amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis, particularly for internally displaced families.
The 13-year conflict has led to millions of Syrians experiencing displacement, more than half of whom are children.
Many facilities, including those providing essential medical care, have severely deteriorated due to the conflict resulting in more vulnerable communities. Human Appeal calls for increased global humanitarian aid to support existing and planned aid efforts to redevelop Syria and revive dignified services and utilities for its people.
Over the last two years, Human Appeal has already concentrated its efforts on sustainable projects. Providing shelters, schools, clean water, civil infrastructure, medical care, food items, winter items and logistical support, the charity has supported over 2.5 million internally displaced people since 2022.
Human Appeal foresees the need for future projects to align with a new phase as displaced Syrians consider going back to their city or village of origin. As part of this ongoing response, rebuilding on every level to ensure the population’s self-sufficiency will become critical.
In the immediate future, the charity’s focus is to attend to the needs of those who have been displaced or lost access to their livelihood.
Owais Khan, Deputy CEO of Human Appeal, comments: ‘The conflict in Syria has had devastating humanitarian repercussions. Many have limited or no access to proper food, shelter, or medical care. We may soon see the needs changing on the ground. But for those that need help today, the urgency remains a reality. Human Appeal is responding with the distribution of most needed aid in the current situation while assessing the needs resulting from expected population movements in various locations.’
