Syria is still suffering!


The past two months have demonstrated that although Syria is not reported on mainstream media, the conflict continues unabated. We have responded to emerging events accordingly and have been campaigning actively for civilian protection and, more recently, for delivering aid to Eastern Ghouta and other besieged areas. In conjunction with eight other UK-based Syrian organisations, we released a policy document to guide our work for the upcoming year. A copy of the report has been sent to each MP.


As always, the involvement of the Syrian community is crucial. Syrian women have been active these two months, launching projects on detainees and feeding the homeless. The community also came out for a silent stand during the #SyrianDayOfRage.


Best regards,

Dr Haytham Alhamwi
