The Syrian civil war, which began in 2011, has caused immense suffering for civilians, especially religious minorities. Christians, Yezidis, and other minority groups have been disproportionately affected, facing targeted attacks by Islamist militants like ISIS and other factions. Converts to Christianity from Islam are at heightened risk of violence, abductions, and execution. The war has left millions displaced and entire communities devastated.
The recent 2023 earthquakes have further compounded the crisis. Thousands of families are left without shelter, food, or medical care as infrastructure continues to collapse. In particular, over 5,000 Christian households in Al-Hassaka face extreme water shortages, while others in the region struggle to survive amidst economic collapse, ruined infrastructure, and constant violence. These minorities, vulnerable to persecution and terrorism, continue to face systemic hardship, including forced displacement and lack of access to essential resources like clean water and food.
