Syria

The conflict in Syria has been going on since the Arab Spring uprisings of 2011. The conflict is now in its seventh year, with no end in sight. The situation has deteriorated into a humanitarian crisis on a global scale, has spilled into neighbouring countries and even European ones, and has become a threat to international stability, due to its complex social, political, economic and religious dimensions.

Tearfund Ireland has been working through local partners with the aim of meeting the humanitarian needs of people affected by the conflict in Syria. Focus has been on: food assistance though cash, food parcels or vouchers and provision of essential non-food items (NFIs) such as cooking utensils, bedding etc. Join us in praying for this ongoing conflict.
