#SaveGhouta: Help the Helpless

More than 640 people have been killed since 18 February, more than 150 of them children, AFP news agency reports.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, says fighting on the ground intensified there on Saturday.

Some 393,000 people are trapped in the Eastern Ghouta, which has been besieged by the government since 2013.

Food and medical stocks are dwindling, and aid trucks are unable to get in.

Muslim Hands

Just last week a team from Muslim Hands visited Syrian refugees in Lebanon. We heard harrowing stories from people who had escaped Ghouta in recent months – families forced to eat grass to avoid starving. With this escalation in violence, it is hard to imagine the suffering faced by those who remain trapped in this desolate place.

Our teams are on the ground in Syria, ready to reach these devastated people with vital food and medical aid.

Donate now and save a life before it’s too late.
