Saving Syria

The conflict in Syria started as a civil protest in 2011, and it has escalated into civil conflict and continues until the present time. Approximately 6.8 million people have been affected by the conflict in Syria and more than 1.9 million have fled their country to find asylum in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Egypt, Iraq and other neighboring countries. We speak to the good people who, as part of the MERCY Malaysia mission, went into refugee camps to provide medical relief and find out their first-hand experience of the humanitarian crisis in Syria.
