It is estimated that at least 60,000 people have lost their lives in Syria due to the ongoing violence. Thousands of people have also been displaced to neighboring countries to live in squalid conditions in refugee camps and other places where they can get away from the gunfire that is killing people again and again. It's horrible to think of the children being confronted with violence and destruction early in life. And the mothers who fear that something bad will happen to their children.<\/p>\n

Christians reach out to displaced people<\/h2>\n

Because of these conditions, our Christian partner has helped thousands of refugees with basic relief goods in Jordan and has been able to show God's love to the refugees. According to our partner, the flow of refugees continues to cross the border into Jordan. This means that there are still thousands of victims of the civil war who need our help. They have asked for help with the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Isam Ghattas, head of Manara Ministries, our partner, told us how he stood at the border with Jordan and saw the refugees crossing the border. With tears in his eyes, he described how unbearable it was not to be able to do more for these people. They handed out blankets that day, but saw mothers with their children walking barefoot with very little clothing on their bodies.<\/p>\n

These are the harsh realities faced by refugees from Syria. Around 3-4,000 cross the border every day, according to Manara Ministries. This is a huge challenge for Jordan, which is why many people are needed to help the victims. Thank you for your help in this dire situation.<\/p>\n
