Earthquake in Syria
Find out how you can help JRS continue to respond to ongoing needs.
On February 6, 2023, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Syria, creating unprecedented destruction.
The prevailing conditions in Syria are grave, exacerbated by political instability and the destruction of key aid infrastructure due to seismic activity. Within the country, families already displaced by the prolonged crisis find themselves enduring further hardship, residing in tents, makeshift shelters, and buildings partially ravaged by conflict. Many of these vulnerable individuals had previously received support and guidance from our dedicated teams operating on the ground.
Despite major gaps in funding from world organizations to support Syria, JRS remains very committed to all Syrians in need, thanks to donors and supporters around the world.

Please consider a gift to help provide aid to refugees and staff, today.
