“As we enter the 8th year of this ruinous war in Syria, it is harrowing to hear of the alleged attacks in Douma,” says World Vision Syria Response Director, Wynn Flaten. Recent escalations in Eastern Ghouta and Douma have devastated families and children in Syria. Children are still trapped in Syria, exposed to violence and are at risk of severe injury. World Vision seeks your help to send aid to those still in Syria, as well as refugee children who have grown up in settlements around Syria. They still need your help.
