This Ramadan 1.9 billion Muslims around the world will abstain from food and drink from dawn to sunset in a month-long act of worship. For Syrians, this Ramadan is the 12th living in a state of war and the aftermath of the biggest earthquake in the last 100 years. Streets once lined with colourful lanterns and twinkling lights to welcome the holy month are now empty, dark and abandoned. The echoes of laughter and happy conversations that once filled the streets through open windows and balconies as loved ones gathered to share their favourite Ramadan recipes for Iftar evening meals have fallen silent.Today, millions of families across Syria are far away from home, living in makeshift shelters - internally displaced in their own country. For many, their prime focus is finding food for their family, often having to choose between food and vital health or education needs. The earthquake that struck northwest Syria has only exacerbated the suffering of the Syrian people. Therefore, we are requesting your assistance. Your contribution will substantially enhance the lives of those affected. Every pound you donate will provide food and clean water to those in need. HiHFAD distributes food baskets, cooked nourishing meals, clean water, and dates to internally displaced Syrian families.
