Food for Syrian refugee families
May 8th, 2013
As the violence broadens and intensifies in Syria, refugees continue to flee to neighboring countries.
Syria Crisis
Due to the escalating violence and turmoil in Syria, Syrians are fleeing to surrounding countries. Most are leaving with few possessions and very limited ability to provide for their own basic needs. In one host country in the Middle East, there are currently approximately 100,000 men, women and children scattered throughout various cities and villages. BGR partners are providing food parcels and some clothing to 400 families.
