A magnitude 7.8 earthquake has hit Syria killing hundreds of people and trapping likely thousands more, numbers which will escalate in coming days and weeks.
It is unimaginable that the refugees of this area, already such vulnerable people who have suffered so very much, now face this catastrophe. They need our help.
"Wailing children, flattened buildings, and hospitals full of bodies following the devastating earthquake looked painfully familiar for Syrian families and rescuers worn down by nearly 12 years of bombardment and displacement. Families have been left exposed in near-freezing temperatures and heavy rains". – ABC news
With no shelter and no food.
Your URGENT support is needed now to help save hundreds of lives and support those injured and affected by the earthquake.
Right now, people are in the streets, digging with their hands to try to save people. Others, stranded in the cold with nothing left.
There is no shelter. It is freezing winter. And there is no food.
The Australian Syrian Association of Victoria are coordinating Australian donations to provide urgent food baskets to affected Syrians.
Just $45 will provide a food basket to a family in need.
