Urgent Relief to the Deportees of Northern Homs Countryside:

The ongoing war in Syria has led to several transformations in Syrians’ lives. For over nine years, people have been forced on leaving their home cities and villages towards borders, often without having time, finance, or opportunity to arrange shelter, food, or employment in migration camps.

 

Northern Homs IDPs need Urgent Relief:

In the midset of an unprecedented humanitarian misery that comes along with cold weather and rain torrents, forcefully deported households of northern Homs countryside need urgent relief to meet basic shelter and food needs which they fail to afford due to the rising unemployment and the limited finances of migrant households.

 

Project Description:

As means to support our people who

suffer miserable conditions in their home cities, and as means to help them during

such a hard time, “Beyaz Eller Organization” sought support from the “International

Islamic Charity Organization” (IICO) to undertake an urgent relief project

which targets newly arriving IDPs of northern Homs suburbs who gradually

settled in Idlib-  northern Syria.

The project targeted the provision

of quick shelter supplies to the deported households of northern Homs

countryside. The aid included one tent and one shelter basket containing five

mattresses, five pillows, five blankets, and two floor mats, in addition to

cooking utensils and tools, heating gas, and one pan. In addition, the

organization has distributed 4 formula milk cans to families with children,

drinking water, and food and hygiene baskets. The project covered needs of 300

targeted households all through one month, totalling the number of benefiters

to 1,500 persons.

Unending Misery

While distributing food and shelter supplies, our team met a father of four children who said:

“It is as if we are living a nightmare of which there is no escape. We were forced on leaving our homes, throwing our belongings behind our backs, and going through a long migration journey that exhausted our efforts. Our children did nothing to experience these hardships in such a young age.”

Meanwhile a woman in her twenties was striving to calm down her baby. She said: “We arrived to Idlib suburbs three days ago. We have nothing at hand to make us feel we are still alive. I cannot afford milk or warmth to my little baby.”

Project Impact:

The project provided assistance to the helpless migrants who still needed to strive to find job opportunities, collect their tents and shelter supplies, bring together cooking utensils and tools, and earn money to buy food, drinking water, and baby milk. The project supported their psychological wellbeing by proving that there are people who love and care for them. Also, young children have benefited from formula milk which is an essential nutrient of their physical growth and development.
