This Eid al-Adha (approaching in just a few weeks!), your sacred act of Qurbani can be a beacon of hope and a source of vital sustenance for Syrian families enduring one of the world’s most severe crises.
The people of Syria continue to face unimaginable hardship. After more than a decade of conflict and recent instability, their need for basic sustenance is more profound than ever, especially as the blessed days of Dhul Hijjah and Eid al-Adha arrive.
The Stark Reality for Syrians Today
The latest reports paint a devastating picture:
- Over 16.5 million people – roughly 7 out of 10 Syrians – desperately require humanitarian assistance to survive.
- Critical Food Insecurity: Over 14.5 million people don’t know where their next meal is coming from, with 13 million facing acute shortages. Syria ranks fourth globally for food insecurity.
- Children are Suffering: Over 650,000 children under 5 face severe malnutrition. One-third of Syria’s children live in “food poverty,” consuming two or fewer food groups daily.
- Widespread Poverty: More than 90% of Syrians live below the poverty line, with 27% in extreme poverty.
- Massive Displacement: 7.2 million people are internally displaced. The recent overthrow of the Assad regime in late 2024 has added 656,000 newly displaced individuals to this staggering number.
- Economic Collapse: Soaring inflation (93% in 2023) and a collapsing currency mean even basic necessities, like meat for Eid, are far out of reach for most families.
