ACTION ALERT and Our thoughts and prayers are with all the victims and their families of Syrian Civilians

 

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the victims and their families of Syrian civilians whose lives have been devastated in the continuing humanitarian crisis that has affected them for over 5 years. We are deeply saddened by the latest intensified tragedy in Aleppo, where locals, including women and children, are being subjected to imprisonment, torture, and death. As many as 100,000 civilians are trapped in besieged Aleppo, and as the violence intensifies and the death toll continues to rise. We join the world in our prayers for the 400,000+ Syrians that have been killed in this horrific conflict, for the 4.8 million+ refugees, and the 13.5 million people in urgent need of humanitarian assistance inside Syria. We hope and pray that the parties adhere to the ceasefire and truce that was reached and a resolution to the crisis is near.
