Neal Keny-Guyer, Mercy Corps
Syria‘s civil war is poised to become the worst humanitarian disaster of our time. The politics are complex and the numbers can be overwhelming. But those numbers stand for real people in crisis, right now. And the more of us who are aware of what’s going on, the more we can help them.
We hope you’ll take a minute to learn about the magnitude of the Syrian refugee crisis ▸

As the violence in Syria escalates, as many as 6,000 people escape across the borders every single day. The UN estimates there could be 3.5 million refugees by the end of the year — more than half of them children.

Mercy Corps is responding to urgent needs in Jordan and Lebanon — the two smallest countries overwhelmed by the largest numbers of refugees. But we must do more. Please, join us to raise awareness and turn knowledge into action.
Thank you for standing with us — and the millions of Syrian refugees who need us now more than ever.
Sincerely,
Neal Keny-Guyer Mercy Corps CEO
