An
uprising against the government
of Bashar Al-Assad that began in March 2011 has transformed into a civil
war, leaving a catastrophic humanitarian crisis in its wake. To date,
140,000 people have been killed and about 2.5 million have become
refugees, about half of them children. Over 4 million
more are internally displaced within Syria and millions more still need
humanitarian assistance. Come together with the rest of the Dartmouth
community to learn about the scope of this conflict and what you can do
to help.
