Syria (Türkiye, Jordan)

Since 2011, conflict has devastated Syria, creating the largest refugee crisis of our time. More than 12 million Syrians have been forced from their homes and 6.5 million Syrian children need help. Civil war has set the country’s standard of living back by decades—destroying healthcare systems, schools and water and sanitation facilities.


On February 6, 2023, a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Türkiye and Syria, killing and injuring thousands. World Vision is on the ground helping survivors. You can contribute to our emergency response.

Country Details

Since 2011, conflict has devastated Syria—and created the largest refugee crisis of our time. The war has left 6.5 million Syrian children in need of humanitarian aid and displaced more than 12 million Syrians. Half of them remain internally from their homes—exposed to continuous attacks and shelling—while the economic fallout is pushing them into further vulnerabilities and food insecurity.


This leaves 14.6 million Syrians in need of humanitarian assistance inside Syria, half of them being children while 80% of them are women and children internally displaced.

World Vision's Syria Crisis Response

Since the beginning of the Syrian civil war and the massive humanitarian emergency it triggered, World Vision has supported an ever-increasing number of individuals and communities. Since 2011, we have been working across Syria, Türkiye and Jordan to support refugees and those who are internally displaced inside Syria, as well as vulnerable host communities.


We support children and families through lifesaving protection, education, health, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services.


The conflict is unpredictable, and each year is different. We are committed to reaching all children affected to ease suffering and keep our promise to rebuild futures.
