Samaritan's Purse

The Syrian refugee crisis was created by an internal conflict that has been tearing the country apart for more than two years. Forces loyal to the Ba’ath government and president Bashar al-Assad are battling with rebel factions seeking to grab control. Caught in the middle are innocent families who live in constant fear of violence. Death and insecurity have forced millions of Syrians to run for their lives, with more than two million seeking refuge in neighboring Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq. Three-quarters of these refugees are women and children, according to United Nations reports.
