Today, thousands of children fled Syria's war in the cold, in the dark, with fear at their backs, amid rebel and government forces' gunfire and bombing. They saw friends and relatives shot, killed in their presence, and that's if they were lucky and didn't witness worse. Jordan is overflowing with as many as 350,000 refugees with many more expected daily. Turkey is also offering safety to more than 150,000 Syrian refugees along its borders and in camps. Estimates are that another 100,000 or more Syrians have fled to Lebanon and Iraq.
The United States has already provided more than $200 million in humanitarian aid and yesterday President Obama approved another $155 million in aid to the people of Syria to provide, "warm clothes and food," he said. But, if your heart aches for these people - especially the children - as mine, you may want to offer to help.
Below is some information on how you can help the children of Syria through "Save the Children," the well known international relief agency that is helping the children of Syria and the British Red Cross.
And, if you are willing, pray for these dear ones, these precious children, the lost innocents whose lives will never be the same.
