Water Survival Box aid is being sent
to: Syria
To maximise its effectiveness Water Survival
Box aid is airlifted to its destination. But due to Covid-19 pandemic and the
restrictions placed upon the international transporting of
freight, on this occasion we teamed up with Jubilee
Outreach Yorkshire. With their assistance our boxes on this
rare occasion were sent in containers by sea.
Type of disaster: CONFLICT
While levels of
violence have reduced significantly, over 11 million people
in Syria still require humanitarian aid. 10 years of war
beset by violations, including crimes against humanity, has
destroyed the country’s infrastructure, with homes and
schools destroyed, lack of clean water and sanitation, is a
significant factor effecting the population.
