Syria

Following the end of the Assad regime in 2024, the long-running civil war, and the severe earthquake disaster of 2023, Syria faces enormous challenges. The destruction of infrastructure and the weakening of the economy are exacerbating the humanitarian situation. Millions of people continue to depend on support.

Since 2012, AWO International has been delivering humanitarian aid in collaboration with local and international partners. We implement emergency aid projects for internally displaced persons in Syria and provide targeted support for those affected by the earthquake that struck northern parts of the country in 2023.

Emergency aid and reconstruction after the earthquake

On February 6, 2023, two devastating earthquakes struck the Turkish-Syrian border region. More than 50,000 people lost their lives, over 100,000 were injured and a total of 26 million people were affected by the disaster. Together with Volkshilfe Austria, Solidar Suisse and local partners from Turkey and Syria, AWO International provided immediate emergency aid and continues to support people on the ground with psychosocial care and help with reconstruction.
