Help provide for displaced refugees

Though British MPs continue to clamp down on the number of refugees able to seek shelter in the UK, you can still help to provide for people displaced in other areas by donating to key organisations.

Mercy Corps is an NGO which provides clean water and hygiene kits, among other supplies, to Syrian evacuees - they are currently operating in northern Syria, waiting for more people to be evacuated out of Aleppo. Red Cross, meanwhile, has partnered with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, an independent organisation based in Damascus, to play a key role in the evacuation of people from Aleppo - you can donate here.

Campaign for more action

If you’re frustrated with the British response to the crisis, join the many demonstrations and campaigns that are calling for more action. Sign this petition to support calls for aid drops to begin in areas of Aleppo that have been blocked from receiving shipments, or call and email your MP and MEP to encourage them to push for sanctions or diplomatic repercussions for the Syrian and Russian governments.
