Thousands of the Syrian refugees crossed the border into Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan and reached safe shelters seeking protection. According to their local relief agencies, there are more than 13,500 Syrian refugees in Lebanon alone, about 8,000 in Jordan, and approximately 7,600 in Turkey. Only about 14,338 of them are actually registered so they total number could be much higher. 

What is Baitulmaal doing?

On behalf of generous donors, Baitulmaal has delivered food supplies and organized a clothing caravan to 250+ families in Lebanon, many who have made their home out of condemned and abandonned schools and buildings. In addition more than $20,000 worth of supplies have reached the hands of refugees in both Turkey and Jordan as well in an emergency response to the growing needs of the displaced victims of the violence.

We are not done though! Read on to find out more about our plans for support and see pictures for what we have already done!

Baitulmaal has opened an office in Jordan to more effectively deal with both the needs of the Jordanians and Palestanian in need there but to also better support the Syrian Refugees who are now trying to find some balance in the face of disaster. After having collected data in a needs assessment report Baitulmaal is coordinating an effort to support the refugee populations in Jordan from both an emergency response platform as well as a sustainable approach. Below is the preliminary scope of need.
