Save Lives In Syria

17 March. That’s the day Syria’s Assad regime allegedly dropped a barrel bomb of chlorine gas in the rebel-controlled town of Idlib.

It’s the day that an entire family nearby — three children, a mother and father, and a grandmother — suffocated to death in a cloud of one of the most poisonous gasses known to humanity.

We can not in good conscience be silent. Please raise your voice and tell Prime Minister David Cameron that the UK can and must do more to help the people of Syria.

Four years into the conflict in Syria, the country remains in chaos and horror remains the daily reality for millions.

More than 11.6 million people inside Syria are now in urgent need of water, and nearly 10 million people do not have enough to eat.

Rape is used as a weapon of war and combatants use cluster munitions, barrel bombs, poisonous gas, and other weapons banned under international law, according to on-the-ground observers.

Please take action now for the people of Syria. Call on David Cameron to demand immediate and expanded action from the the United Nations to save Syrian lives.

Last year, the United Nations — with UK support — called for an urgent increase in access to humanitarian aid in Syria and demanded that all parties immediately cease attacks against civilians and lift sieges of populated areas.

One year later, 76,000 people have lost their lives, including thousands of children. 2.4 million people have been forced to flee their homes. And the international community has provided just 57 percent of the money needed to help support the people of Syria.

The world is failing Syria’s people. Every day, more lives are lost, more futures shattered, and more instability spreads in the region.

As a major world power, the UK has an obligation and the ability to help the people of Syria. Please urge Prime Minister Cameron to take action.
