Your support in last year's sacrificial campaign in order to secure sacrificial meat for the displaced in northern Syria contributed greatly to sowing joy in the hearts of many of the displaced people in northern Syria. And with Eid al-Adha approaching this year, we invite you to share your sacrifice with the displaced in northern Syria.

"We were displaced five years ago, and our children are still crying from hunger, and I cannot provide food for my sick child."

With these words, this kind lady greeted us, telling us that they had been displaced for a long time to northern Syria, and they need someone to help them. The constant conditions of poverty and hunger in northern Syria prevent them from securing their daily needs.

The lady has a sick child who cannot fulfill his daily needs and cannot even secure his simple requests for food. Let us wipe away the tears of this lady with your help and offer her a portion of this year's Eid sacrifice.

Your donation now, for the price of a sacrifice or a part of its price, will enable us to alleviate the suffering of the displaced in northern Syria, and your reward will be great with God, earning the favor of the sacrifice and the favor of feeding one of the poor people in northern Syria.

After the response to the Eid Sacrifice campaign for the 2021 season, the Syrian Expatriate Medical Association (SEMA), Idleb office, took the initiative to purchase 127 sheep to carry out the rituals of Eid Al-Adha and distribute the sacrificial meat to the needy displaced people in Idleb city, Ariha, Al-Janudiyah, Kafr Takharim, Salqin, Azaz, Afrin, and Al-Bab.

The target groups included the most vulnerable cases affected by the war, as well as cases that were reported under Gender-Based Violence, in addition to cases of Child Protection, orphans and people with special needs; these cases were already registered in the records of protection needs in our offices in northern Syria.

The sacrificial meat was provided in the form of cooked rations (meat pies) and rations of raw meat. The cooked meals were prepared in local bakeries, while the raw meat rations were prepared in slaughterhouses that had already been approved by our teams.

The main objective of this event was to provide food support to the in-need families and create an atmosphere of positive social solidarity on religious occasions, bringing joy and happiness to the displaced community that is most affected by this war.

Description of implementation stages:

The activity went through several stages, where each stage was tackled separately. In the first stage, our working teams collected data and conducted an assessment to measure the extent of the need of the targeted families in the afore-mentioned areas.

In the second stage, the required approvals were obtained from the local authorities, where our teams coordinated with the representatives of these authorities to facilitate the activity without any obstacles.

The third stage included preparing the needed logistics such as securing tools and cars and coordinating with the media department to ensure full media coverage of the event as well as proper documentation.

This was followed by preparing the field teams, explaining the method of distribution, assigning the tasks, and dividing the teams according to each task. In the fourth stage, the distribution dates and locations were decided in line with a supply plan that ensured the preservation of the quality of the raw meat and the pies.

After that, the distribution was decided to take place on the second day of Eid Al-Adha after coordination with each department to communicate the agreed distribution times, while taking into consideration all precautionary measures related to the COVID-19 disease.

Afterwards, the distribution of the entire available quantities was carried out with full documentation of the transfer, distribution, and delivery operations, which spread joy to the hearts of the poor families and left an immediate impact of happiness on them.

Statistics about beneficiaries:

• Total number of meat rations was 16039
• the weight of each meat ration = 1.5 kg
• The total number of beneficiaries reached 16,039 families as follows:

• 
  

• 800 families in the city of Idlib and its rural areas (Al-Janodia, Ariha, Kafr Takharim and Salqin).
• 839 families in rural Aleppo (Azaz, Al-Bab, Sharan and Shamarin camps).

• 
  

Strengths and Positive Aspects:

• Demonstrating the ability to work as a team, working in a positive spirit and high coordination among team members during the Eid period.

1. Commitment to work and rapid and effective communication.
2. Commitment of the drivers to the agreed times.
3. The immediate impact on the ration recipients and their feeling of great joy while receiving the Eid sacrifice.
4. Helping poor families reach Eid meals and enhancing their sense of Eid joy.

5. 
   

The response of our supporters was exceptionally strong and influential this Eid, given the difficult living conditions that the Syrian families live, particularly the displaced. The daily basic food needs forms an unattainable daily goal for them. Unfortunately, this happens with the decline of the international support, but this does not apply to people with big hearts all over the world who had enough sense to feel the tragedy of the displaced Syrian families and offer them the sacrifice of Eid.

The campaign was the finest image of human solidarity in the most difficult circumstances; we hope that the coming circumstances will be better and that the giving hands remain extended to the poor to share the good in every season and carry it for all.

May Allah reward you

We, SEMA’s team, join the people on the border to say to you “thank you” for your generosity. These blessed days, in which you brought goodness and joy to the displaced population, will bring you, besides the reward, many good prayers.

Thanks to Allah, SEMA has started to buy 100 sheep, following your kind response, in preparation for the 2021 Adha season. There are millions of vulnerable people residing in northern Syria, the active war zone, and they suffer from food insecurity. Three million of them, an average of one out of two people, are daily struggling to get a basic meal, and this number has increased by an astonishing rate this year under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. On the other hand, there is another million people who are still vulnerable to food insecurity unless emergency humanitarian actions are undertaken.

Your donation is the fastest humanitarian response to fight hunger, even for a few days. The Eid may be for millions of displaced people just feeling satiety, or securing a meal for their families. Words and international reports cannot explain the importance of what you are doing through your donation to increase the number of sacrifices. Let us aim to reach the lowest number possible of hungry people this Eid and let us continue to donate via this link:
