Syria Emergency

Help Syrian families survive

Over the past 13 years, more than 13 million Syrians have been forced to flee their homes, including over 7 million individuals who are displaced within Syria.

Mass displacement has deepened humanitarian needs within Syria, where widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure, along with a collapsing economy, has left millions in urgent need of support. By the end of 2024, 16.7 million people (about 90% of the population) were estimated to be in need of humanitarian assistance. 

The majority of them are children, and they are in urgent need of protection and support.

Since the fall of the former government in December 2024, more than 2 million Syrians have returned home, including nearly 600,000 from neighbouring countries and 1.5 million who were displaced in other parts of Syria. While this is a reason for hope, the security situation in the country remains unpredictable in some areas, and their basic services are limited. 

UNHCR is supporting returning Syrians with everything from transportation home and house repairs to legal aid for the replacement of lost identity and property documents.  

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.
