The Syrian Crisis

Syrians are the largest forcibly displaced population globally, with 90% in poverty and 11 million lacking essential resources after a decade of conflict. Syria’s collapsed healthcare system worsens the crisis, and only 46% of humanitarian needs are met despite international aid. Of the 6.8 million refugees who have fled, many have reshaped neighboring countries.

From 2023 to 2025, HDF’s Syria portfolio delivered consistent, high-impact humanitarian assistance across multiple governorates and refugee settlements, addressing both emergency relief and long-term recovery needs.

Through multi-sector coordination, HDF:

• Ensured sustained food and nutrition access for displaced families.
• Provided safe water and hygiene kits to reduce disease spread in camps.
• Restored education and stability for children and university students.
• Delivered consistent orphan care and women’s empowerment programs.
• Secured winter protection and heating support for families exposed to harsh climates.

These integrated interventions reflect HDF’s enduring commitment to Relief, Recovery, and Resilience for Syrian communities inside and outside Syria  demonstrating compassion, continuity, and measurable impact amid one of the world’s longest-running crises.
