“This earthquake is going to provoke an even greater despair than the one that existed”. You can help them after this natural disaster.

Syria: "Let's hope that the earthquake shakes and opens the heart to the international community"

“The population is in a state of absolute despair and anguish. There are people wandering through the streets, not knowing where to go, and desperately searching for family and friends. Many people have died or are missing,” reported the archbishop of Homs, Jean Abdo Arbach to Aid to the Church in Need.

The devastating earthquake that struck southern Turkey and northern Syria in the early hours of Monday has killed more than 300 people, directly affected thousands of people, including many Christian communities in Syria that were already facing chaos and struggles after more than a decade of war, persecution and, more recently, a crippling financial crisis.

The Church in Syria is overwhelmed and without resources. They need food, medicine & blankets to succour the population. You can help them have shelter with food.

"The Church asks for urgent aid to help the population that has been left homeless overnight"

“In addition to the lack of food and the harsh winter, the cold, the snow… now people are going to find themselves without a roof, with their houses destroyed by the earthquake,” he added, “so the most urgent thing is food and medicine”.

“Let us hope the earthquake shakes open the hearts of the international communities and of all world leaders, so that they help Syria and do not forget the people who are suffering […] I ask you many prayers to be strong and help the population
