EMERGENCY APPEAL—Help Us Bring Aid to Bilad al-Sham Before It’s Too Late

A Mother’s GoodBye

Hana, a young woman from northern Hama, fled to Idlib with her husband in 2017 after their home was destroyed.

Her life took a tragic turn when her husband was killed in combat just a year later. Grieving and alone, Hana gave birth to their son three months after his death.

Alone. Scared. Overwhelmed.

Desperation soon followed. Unable to provide for her newborn amidst unbearable poverty, Hana made an unthinkable choice.

She placed her baby in front of a clinic and watched from a distance as a guard found him.

She sacrificed everything, hoping he would find a better life—somewhere healthy, loved, and cared for.

In her words:

“It was the hardest moment of my life. Leaving a part of myself behind after carrying him for nine months… knowing I couldn’t even meet his most basic needs.”

The War Has Shattered Lives Beyond Repair

The crisis in the Shaam region is extending into its fourteenth year – with more people than ever sliding into deeper poverty and 16.7 million people in need of humanitarian assistance and protection. Countless individuals—especially children—are scarred by trauma, with no access to psychological support.

Right Now:

🔸 Over 12 million people are still forcibly displaced across the region.

🔸 12.9 million people are food insecure and 7.2 million are internally displaced

🔸 90% of the population in Bilaad Al Shaam lives below the poverty line

For them, survival has become a battle against violence, deprivation, and a world that often turns a blind eye.

The Urgency of Now

The crisis in Bilad al Shaam is escalating every second. As we speak:

🔸 Over 2 million people are displaced and struggling to find food.

🔸 1 in 3 children in these regions are skipping meals, with many going days without nourishment.

🔸 Medical supplies have decreased by 60%, leaving hospitals and clinics overwhelmed.

🔸 Thousands of injured civilians are receiving no medical care due to the lack of resources.

And now with the coldest weather looming on the horizon, millions of vulnerable families are facing the prospect of not surviving this winter. With over 1.5 million people living in makeshift tents, many torn and unfit for the cold, a severe shortage of warm winter clothing and blankets, and no access to fuel or heaters, these families are left exposed to freezing temperatures and frostbites. The urgency has never been greater—without immediate intervention, countless lives will be lost.
