Around 15,000 refugees who fled the violence in various parts of Syria and took refuge in Tall Abyad region of Raqqah are facing the risk of freezing to death due to heavy cold.

In order to help these Syrians, Şanlıurfa Humanitarian Aid Association has taken 2,500 liters of diesel fuel to the 200 families in need in the region.
