A decade of crisis in Syria
Since the crisis began, Islamic Relief has invested £350 million in delivering life-saving humanitarian programming. Last year alone, we were a lifeline for around 2.5 million people.
Syria nine years of suffering
Since the conflict began, Islamic Relief have provided humanitarian aid to nearly three million Syrians. We have provided food, healthcare, education and child welfare, as well as shelter and wash facilities.
However, Syria’s people are still very much in need of our help and there are many who continue to suffer.
8 years of Crisis: Syria crisis is far from over
Islamic Relief is doing all we can to help those caught up in this crisis. Last year alone, our far-reaching interventions assisted over 2.9 million people in Syria and neighbouring countries. Learn more about our response to the crisis in our report.

Over 400,000 civilians have died, 13.5 million need humanitarian aid, 6.5 million people face acute food insecurity, 1/3 of all schools are unable to provide education and 5.3 million people live in shelters without any cooking, heating, or washing facilities.

Islamic Relief Syria Emergency Response 2013
Three years of crisis, insecurity, and instability in almost all parts of Syria have resulted in a critical humanitarian crisis. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees, António Guterres, has described the Syrian crisis as “the worst humanitarian disaster since the end of the cold war”. The escalation of conflict across Syria has badly affected the country’s infrastructure. Schools, hospitals, roads, power stations, and water supplies have been destroyed.
