Much like in Canada, the weather over the past few weeks in Syria has included snow, freezing temperatures and at times heavy rain. Despite the cold weather, Syrian Arab Red Crescent volunteers continue to provide much needed assistance, including distributing blankets, tarps and other relief items to help families stay warm, and providing emergency medical care.
 
Seven million people have been displaced within Syria as a result of the ongoing conflict. Winter presents a new set of challenges for those displaced and funding is urgently needed to provide humanitarian support for Syrian families. For more information, visit www.redcross.ca.
