Cincinnati, OH, October 03, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Millions Have Fled Persecution in Syrian Civil War.
Matthew 25: Ministries, an international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization located in Cincinnati, OH is responding to the Syrian Refugee Crisis in the Middle East. Since armed conflict began in Syria in 2011, approximately 9 million Syrians have fled their homes. About 6.5 million still live somewhere inside of Syria, but at least 2.5 million have left the country.
During the first half of 2015, large numbers of Syrian refugees crossed into European Union (EU) member states. As of early 2015, the death toll from civil war related actions is estimated at more than 225,000. International organizations have accused the Syrian government and the opposition forces of severe human rights violations. Millions have been left in unacceptable living conditions, suffering shortages of food and drinking water.
Matthew 25: Ministries is working with partners on the ground in the region and is shipping their first truckload of aid the week of 09/28 to several of the EU countries accepting refugees. Items in the initial shipment include approximately 38,000 pounds of new clothing and shoes, personal care items and cleaning supplies valued at almost $550,000.
Due to very restrictive shipping regulations, at this time Matthew 25 is seeking financial gifts for Syrian relief rather than donations of supplies. Donors who would like to designate their financial gifts for Syrian Relief may do so by writing “Syrian Relief” in the memo line of their check or by typing it in the “in honor of” field of our online giving form. Mail checks to Matthew 25: Ministries, 11060 Kenwood Road, Cincinnati, OH 45242. 100% of donated funds designated for Syrian Relief will be used for the purpose intended. Matthew 25: Ministries will continue to post more information as it becomes available.
