Winter Appeal For Syrian Refugees

Dear Supporter,

At the end of November, the SEMA team quickly mobilized to respond to the desperate situation faced by displaced families in northern Syria, who were victims of brutal airstrikes that left entire communities in ruins. The conditions were catastrophic—families had lost their homes, and the bitter cold added to their suffering. Some had lost everything, with no shelter, no food, and no safety, amidst widespread devastation.

The statistics are heartbreaking:

• 4 hospitals and 4 schools in Idlib and Aleppo were targeted, leaving thousands without access to essential services.
• Over 481,500 people displaced, facing extreme winter conditions.
• Critical shortages of food, water, and life-saving medical services.

In the face of this, your support allowed SEMA to act swiftly. We constructed a temporary shelter equipped with heating materials, blankets, and mattresses, providing warmth and safety to over 100 displaced families. Additionally, our team offered psychological support and organized activities for children, helping them find hope in these dark times.

Your generous contributions have made a real difference in the lives of those affected by this tragedy. Thanks to you, we are able to provide urgent winter assistance to those who need it most. The impact of your support cannot be overstated.

Thank you for standing with the displaced families of northern Syria. Your compassion gives them the strength to rebuild their lives, even in the hardest of times.

With heartfelt thanks,

Dear Supporter,

Winter for the makeshift camps in northern Syria is another war they face and cannot escape. The thin and weather-worn tent cannot protect its inhabitants from frost and cold.

As every winter, we were part of their journey in facing the cold, providing them with winter necessities such as blankets, covers, winter clothes, heating materials like fuel, coal, and heaters, in addition to providing medicines for winter diseases, especially children's medicines.

Our service areas included northern Idlib and northern Aleppo, where we distributed equal shares of pyrene (a heating material) to 256 families from the camps in the Salqin and Ariha areas. We targeted the most vulnerable and needy families, providing 80 kg of pyrene per family.

In addition, we distributed shares of diesel (European diesel) to primary schools, as well as distributing safe heaters to some of the earthquake victims in southern Turkey in the Hatay camps.

We thank all the contributors for meeting the urgent winter needs of the camp residents. Your generosity has spared many of these families the risks of relying on plastic materials for heating, which can cause fires and pollution.

Thank you, as you have made their winter warm.
