A few seconds can go a long way in changing the lives of refugees – UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency
IT TOOK SECONDS FOR THE LIVES OF REFUGEES TO CHANGE FOREVER
Many Syrian families have fled conflict and violence recall the seconds in time that their lives were changed forever; when they were forced to flee their homes, communities and leave everything behind.
Today, millions of Syrian refugees and displaced persons will welcome the holy month in incredibly difficult circumstances, living in desperate uncertainty and hardship, while struggling to put food on the tables for their families.
The COVID-19 pandemic and deteriorating economic situation globally has pushed many of those most vulnerable even deeper into extreme poverty. Many have reported having lost their informal daily wages, and now face severe levels of food insecurity. Families are reporting skipping meals.
Together this Ramadan, we can help families whose lives were devastated by circumstances out of their control to have a roof over their heads, a warm meal for iftar, clean water to drink and wash with, and the hope they need to continue building a safer future.
Please join us and many others in solidarity with refugees worldwide today, it takes a second to help a family in need.
