A country in crisis
What began in 2011 in Syria as a set of protests inspired by the Arab Spring has become an entrenched and bloody conflict that shows no sign of resolution. Today, with an estimated 200,000 people killed and 7.6 million people displaced within the country, and 3.2 million refugees registered outside, Syria is seen as the world’s most grave humanitarian disaster.
In the face of this crisis, the previously functioning health system has collapsed and thousands of medical staff have fled. Many others inside the country have been targeted for their work. There are massive unmet needs, millions of frightened and vulnerable people, and a dreadfully restricted aid response.
How you can help
Place2Give Foundation is a registered Canadian charity (833678840RR0001) and will be directing all funds raised in this campaign to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). Despite the extremely challenging security context, MSF continues to operate medical facilities inside Syria, as well as supporting directly more than 100 clinics, health posts and field hospitals. MSF is also working with patients from Syria who have fled to Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq.
Please participate in the response to this crisis by donating to the critical work MSF is accomplishing in the lives of Syrian refugees.
A strong position of neutrality
MSF will not participate in the Canadian government’s matching program for the Syria crisis. As an organization, they require complete independence and neutrality in situations of conflict in order to gain medical access to people who are living on all sides of a conflict. They intend to maintain neutrality and independence by privileging donations from the public as opposed to those from the government entities. For current information about the impact that MSF is having in the lives of Syrian refugees, visit their website.
**For American donors, Place2Give Foundation recommends supporting the response to the crisis by donating to Global Giving.
