“Save The Children” Is Helping Syria’s Refugee Children To Survive A Cold Hell

“The Save the Children Fund” was founded in 1919 and serves as an international non-governmental organization that promotes children’s rights, provides relief and helps support children in developing countries. “We save children’s lives. We fight for their rights. We help them fulfill their potential.”

London, United Kingdom – October 1, 2015 /PressCable/ —

Mohammed and Amoun al-Haider and their eight terrified children fled to this huge, unofficial Syrian refugee camp on the Turkish border after the regime shelled their village and hit their home over Christmas. It was a catastrophic move. A week after their arrival in what is supposed to be a sanctuary, six of the children suffered hideous deaths. This happened on Christmas 2013, and it is NOT becoming any better – according to the President Barack Obama, addressing the U.N. General Assembly on Monday.

Fast Facts:

– Nearly 12 million Syrians have been forced from their homes by the fighting; half are children.

– At least 7.6 million have been displaced within Syria, and more than 4 million have fled as refugees in neighboring countries.

– Increasing numbers of refugees are making dangerous attempts to reach Europe. About 51 percent of them are from Syria, the UN Refugee Agency says.

– Children affected by the Syrian conflict are at risk of becoming ill, malnourished, abused, or exploited. Millions have been forced to quit school.

To make things worse, the number of refugees does not show any sign of slowing! In the first five months of 2015, more than 700,000 people were newly displaced, including more than 430,000 within Syria. The 4 million Syrian refugees have relocated primarily to Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, and Jordan. Now Increasing numbers are attempting to reach Europe, and another winter is coming.

Many people think that it can be done something right this time, including people from “Save The Children Fund.”

This organization is stepping up its emergency response to the refugee crisis, providing much-needed relief. Aid includes distributing personal and household supplies, and providing clean water and sanitation.
