About
Syria has been embroiled in conflict since March 2011 when the Syrian government first began to crack down on non-violent demonstrations in the streets of Damascus. Since then, more than 1.2 million people have been displaced from their homes in Syria and almost 200,000 have fled to neighboring countries. USAID has been working closely with partners to provide humanitarian relief to the two and a half million Syrians in need.
