Secure Donation
Syria Emergency - Donate Now - UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency
Families that are returning home are returning to destroyed homes and a country battered by nearly 14 years of war and economic crises. An estimated 90 per cent of the population lives in poverty and even before the latest escalation, 7.2 million people were internally displaced by conflict.
This comes on top of the recent influx of over half a million people—both Lebanese and Syrians—who fled Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon. Sixty percent of them are Syrians, arriving with minimal resources and in urgent need of humanitarian assistance, alongside the communities hosting them.
The majority of them are children, and they are in urgent need of protection and support.
In Jordan, 80% of refugee families are unable to meet essential expenses to survive. Shelter, food, medicine, and education are urgently needed. Children are the hardest hit: many of them cannot finish school and are at risk of exploitation and child labour.
Now winter has hit, and families are also battling the cold. UNHCR is on the ground across the region providing critical support—but we need your help to reach even more people with urgent aid.

UNHCR does, however, partner with dedicated fundraising associations in a number of countries as well as having country specific offices with their own fundraising capacity. These countries include the USA, Germany, Spain, Japan, Australia, Italy, Canada, UK, South Korea, Hong Kong and Belgium. In order to make tax deductible donations through these offices you will need to donate through their individual websites. We are, however, able to issue a receipt of donation from UNHCR international that may be accepted in certain instances. We would suggest that if in doubt you contact your local tax advisor for guidelines on whether your gift is eligible or not.
