Stand together to support and protect innocent victims of the Syrian conflict.
We need to send a message to the world: the people of Syria are NOT forgotten; New Zealand will NOT stand idly by as girls and boys, men and women, are deliberately targeted in this conflict; New Zealand will NOT neglect the most vulnerable refugees who have fled to Syria’s neighbouring countries, and we WILL continue to provide the support and protection they desperately need.
We want to say thank you to our Government, and to the thousands of New Zealanders, who have given generously so New Zealand Aid Agencies, like Christian World Service (CWS) can work with the most vulnerable victims of the Syrian conflict.
By signing this petition, you are helping us say we must do more!
Right now, in Idlib, Syria, schools and hospitals, villages and marketplaces, are being intentionally targeted. In a 90 day assault on Idlib, war planes and artillery killed over 450 innocent people. Children trapped in Idlib have sent a clear message to the United Nations: “We are afraid. Please help us. Make it stop.” By signing this petition you are saying to our Government, “Lead the way! Rally together the Presidents and Prime Ministers of the World – those who have the influence to stop these attacks on innocent people – and put an end to this senseless killing, once and for all.”
The Syrian conflict has caused the greatest refugee crisis of our time. Over 5.6 million Syrians have fled to neighbouring countries, while inside Syria over 11 million people are in need. But after eight years of unrelenting war, the victims of the Syrian conflict are being forgotten. The suffering of Syrian refugees is as real today as when the war began, yet global attention and support is waning. The goodwill of New Zealanders is extraordinary, and in 2017 and 2018, thanks to donations from everyday New Zealanders, New Zealand Aid Agencies were able to help deliver urgently needed assistance to over 142,000 victims of the Syrian conflict.
