Aleppo, the largest city in Syria, is currently facing massive bombings and evacuations (spanning back to 2011) as the government is looking to seize the rebel-held neighborhoods. As a result, citizens of Aleppo are seeking refuge, while many others have been tragically killed in the attacks.
We are all hoping for peace in Aleppo, and here is how you can help in the meantime:
Give Money
There are several organizations you can donate money to that are making efforts in Aleppo. Doctors Without Borders gives medical attention to war-torn cities. The White Helmets is a group of Syrian citizens who risk their lives to rescue victims from the rubble of collapsed buildings. Donating to Syria Relief provides direct support to Syrian citizens in an effort to relieve suffering. And, you can also donate to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Donate Your Time
If you have a skill, there are several ways in which you can give your time. Are you a medical professional? Help save lives by giving medical advice via Skype through the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS). Do you speak Arabic? Countless organizations could use your translation services, so reach out.
Be Vocal
So many are unaware of what is happening in Aleppo, and it has only come to our attention in recent times. With more people becoming aware, more people are beginning to take action. Speak out. This includes joining demonstrations and contacting your local government officials. Don’t let the voices of those in need be silent.
