Syrian Arab Republic

Where we work

Syrian Arab Republic

Syria is suffering from the worst humanitarian and displacement crisis in the world.

Islamic Relief has been supporting the people of Syria since 2011, remaining on the ground as the years passed and the crisis deepened. One of the largest charities still operating in Syria, Islamic Relief is also active in several neighbouring countries, where many Syrian refugees rely on our assistance.

The prolonged crisis has taken a terrible toll on the civilian population and the arrival of Covid-19 placed further strain on services already stretched to their limit. Economic collapse has robbed people of their livelihoods and seen the price of basic goods rise dramatically.

We are providing aid to help the people of Syria meet their basic needs and supporting them as they begin to rebuild their lives. We have supplied life-saving aid, including food and water, medical treatment and shelter to families. We have also supported communities and individuals to rebuild their lives through programmes focused on livelihoods, food security and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). Education, child welfare, orphan support and empowering women have also been integral parts of our work in Syria.
