    From the families we support, to our teams on the ground, and all of us here in New Zealand - thank you for your humanity.

    Your support means the world to those in conflict zones, and we continue to do everything possible to deliver vital aid to those who need it most.

    While 2024 has brought many challenges, your support has brought a ray of hope to families living in unimaginable conditions and reminds them that they are not forgotten. Here is a quick update on what we have been getting up to…

    In Gaza, our team on the ground have been working tirelessly to deliver life-saving food packages and drinking water to displaced families in Khan Yunis and Rafah.

    In Ukraine, we continue to distribute emergency reconstruction materials for families to make home repairs, deliver essential medicines and supplies to medical centres in frontline communities, and support our partner, Tabletochki, in providing cancer care for children.

    In Syria, Bounce Back 4 Syria continues to inspire and promote education and resilience for children who have no access to schooling. Our Fire for Life initiative, in partnership with Escea, is providing families with safer cooking stoves.

    Finally, Wings 2 Learn in Afghanistan is supplying children with the stationery and educational materials they need to build a brighter future!

    None of this would be possible without you. Your unwavering support is the cornerstone of our work.

    Thank you!

    Thanks to your support, we have provided vital aid to over 1/2 million people! This past year has been busy - in October 2023 we extended our operations to assist vulnerable families in Gaza, alongside continuing our ongoing work in Ukraine, Syria, and Afghanistan. Here is an overview of our current programmes:

    In Gaza, we are undertaking daily distributions of drinking water and food supplies to families under fire. In Ukraine, we are delivering emergency repair materials to families whose homes have been damaged by missiles and essential medical supplies to medical centres.

    In Syria, we have recently completed a distribution of essential winter clothing and shelter materials to families in 13 displacement camps. We are currently assembling and delivering ‘Fire for Life’ cooking stoves and our ‘Bounce Back 4 Syria’ education programme has commenced for the year.

    In Afghanistan, our ‘Wings to Learn’ education programme continues, accompanied by the distribution of educational resources to children.

    Your support is the cornerstone of our operations, enabling ReliefAid to make a tangible impact to those families facing unprecedent challenges. In 2024, there are more displaced people than ever before and in a world which is becoming more complex and perilous by the day, your contributions have been vital in bringing hope to those in need.

    Thank you for being an indispensable part of our work, please spread to word to help us continue to reach families on the frontline!

  • ReliefAid responds to the Syrian Earthquake.

    Because of your generosity, we have been able to quickly respond to the needs of earthquake survivors in Syria, while still working in Ukraine to deliver essential aid.

    In Syria our team has been hard at work distributing aid to community centres which have been set up in tents, schools and other buildings to house families who have lost everything.

    In each centre 150 - 200 families live crammed in next to one another. They have only the clothes they ran from their homes in. Thanks to you, our teams are delivering emergency aid to them right now. Children have food, families have blankets, mothers have formula for their babies– because of your donations.

    Our team in Turkey have been staying up through the night making blankets to ensure families in Syria would have warmth come morning, making 1,000 blankets in one night. The team continues to create and distribute blankets to families living in makeshift tents.

    It has been reported that over 5 million people will need shelter as a result of this event. How many children will have been affected? Our BounceBack4Syria project that works to build resilience in children living in the camps will be even more essential to help children through the impacts of earthquake on top of war.

    We will not stop doing whatever it takes to help families in Turkey and Syria recover. But we cannot do it alone: please share our work with your contacts so we can reach more families.

    It is in times of such utter tragedy that the need for humanity is at its greatest. We thank you for your humanity and your willingness to provide emergency aid to families who are experiencing the unimaginable right now.

    Check out the gallery for photos sent to us by the team on the ground. Our Facebook and Instagram are ways of seeing the impact your generosity is having this day, this week!

    ABOUT RELIEFAID IN SYRIA

    ReliefAid has been operating in Syria since 2015. Our team is no stranger to disaster. They delivered aid to families in the rubble of their homes in Aleppo city following airstrikes. They reluctantly left Aleppo before it fell, joining millions displaced in NW Syria. Since then, they have worked tirelessly to support families in the area hit hardest by the earthquake.

    Thank you for walking alongside us in this work.
