In September 2014, the United Protestant Church of Belgium received an urgent letter Protestant churches in Syria and Lebanon, telling the suffering experienced by the civilian population in this region. Nearly three million people have fled Syria to seek refuge in camps in neighboring countries. More than half of these refugees are children. We lack basic necessities such as food, water, shelter, blankets, clothing and medical assistance. Fighting make it difficult for aid to refugees difficult when the needs are only increasing with the approach of winter. A gathering is organized within the EPUB, whose fruit will be donated to ACT Alliance to support aid in Syria and neighboring countries.
To answer the cry of alarm coming from Syria, any gesture of support is welcome!
