When a rocket hit her home and burned her
baby daughter, 21-year-old Walaa faced a drastic
choice: to flee with her children as a refugee.

Syria’s civil war is the worst humanitarian crisis of our time. Half the
country’s pre-war population — more than 11 million people —
have been killed or forced to flee their homes.

More than 65 million people have been forced to flee
their homes due to violence. We’re providing food, water
and shelter, but our help is needed now more than ever.

On the 5th anniversary of South Sudan’s independence,
renewed violence has killed hundreds and is threatening
the lives of families and children already in need.

Smartphones, wifi and messaging apps are playing an important role
in the refugee crisis, and in the way we are providing aid.
