Islamic Relief USA - Syria Emergency Appeal Today after Isha
Islamic Relief USA will be visiting the Dar-Us-Salaam community today after Salatul Isha to make an emergency appeal for the dire humanitarian crisis in Syria. Please attend and show your support for this extremely important cause.
ABOUT THE EMERGENCY:
In Syria, entire towns and neighborhoods have been isolated since an uprising began in the country in 2011. In many communities, people have been forced to remain in their homes because of the violence.
Many others have been pushed out of their neighborhoods to try to find safety in adjacent areas-according to the UNHCR, there is an estimated 1 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Syria. They cannot commute to work, school and other places of business, or get supplies or medical care. This makes life unbearable for people who already have little access to food, water, medical care and electricity.
