25 MILLION PEOPLE IN URGENT NEED OF HUMANITARIAN AID

Those who have been forced to leave their homes, jobs, and loved ones due to the civil war are in dire need of immediate humanitarian assistance. Nearly half of the population, or 25 million civilians, are facing the threat of hunger and thirst.

Additionally, the ongoing conflict has brought the country’s infrastructure and public services to the brink of collapse. Over 80% of hospitals and ambulances have been destroyed, and access to clean water has become extremely difficult.
