Visit the United Nation OCHA site for statistics on the Syrian humanitarian crisis.
Human suffering knows no bounds. The horrific scenes of war spare no one. For the victims of these conflicts, daily life becomes an unending test.
For the rest of humanity, how we react to their suffering, is our test. Do we shrug our shoulders and walk away, do we shed a tear, do we make a silent prayer, do we get involved in trying to assist?
At Salaamedia we couple news and information with action and commitment. Following our recent coverage of the Syrian refugee crisis on the Turkish border, we have initiated a multi-phase campaign.
Phase 1 will include the collection of adult diapers and baby nappies to be shipped from South Africa to our coordinating partners, the IHH, in Turkey for distribution to paralysed Syrian refugees and kids.
We would like you to drop off a pack of adult diapers or kids nappies at one of the following drop off points.
In terms of global suffering, there is no crisis in the world that can match the needs of the Syrian people. Become part of the news and join hands with Salaamedia in touching people’s lives.

We also intend to establish a pharmacy that will cater to the needs of the paralysed and a vehicle to transport their medication if resources permit.
Details on the second phase will be made available soon.
