Syrian refugee camp.

The United Nations refugee agency has estimated that nearly 14 million people have been driven from their homes due to the wars in Syria and Iraq.

The 13.6 includes 7.2 million displaced inside Syria, and 3.3 million Syrians in other countries. In Iraq, 1.9 million have been displaced adding to the 1 million previously driven from their homes.

The vast majority of Syrian refugees have fled to Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq or Turkey.

The Religious Freedom Coalition’s “Christmas For Refugees” program is up and running again this year and we are asking for your help in supporting this effort.
