SYRIAN CRISIS

 

Disaster/Crisis:

Ongoing Conflict  

 

Status: ShelterBox has provided aid for over 4,500 families in Syria, Iraqi Kurdistan, Lebanon and Jordan. We continue to work in the region aiming to assist a further 5,000 families in need
 

It has been over three years since the conflict in Syria began. The number of refugees continues to grow, there are currently 2.5 million, and this number is expected to double by the end of 2014.  Now, one quarter of Lebanon's population is Syrian refugees. ShelterBox continues to respond by providing both tents and school boxes to help improve the lives of refugees who have lost everything.
