  • Over 1.5 million people have fled from the horrific violence in Syria, half of them children.

    And for the millions more who are still living in Syria, every single day is a struggle.

    Children have been displaced, lost homes and schools, struggled to get clean water, food and warmth. Some children have been victims of violence; beaten, shot at and physically and sexually abused.

    These children have experienced fear and abuse that no child should have to go through. It's wrong that even one child should suffer like this.

    How is UNICEF helping?

    UNICEF is working on the ground in Syria and neighbouring countries to provide clean water, clothing and medical care for children.

    We're also running child-friendly spaces where children can be safe, and helping children who have suffered psychological distress.

    Right now, our resources are at breaking point. Without extra funding we won't be able to reach every child who needs us.

    Your donation can help us save children's lives.
