<\/a>The Parcel of Love campaign aims to bring relief to 1,500 Syrian babies born into refugee camps. The goal is to provide those infants with baby formula, warm clothing and blankets, healthcare items, and a packable bassinet for the baby to sleep in.<\/p>\n
These children deserve more, so very much more, but at a minimum they deserve a place to sleep and food to eat and ways to keep warm.<\/p>\n
Here are some fast facts about Syrian refugees:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Of the 4.8 million registered Syrian refugees, half are children;
\n\u2022 Over 60,000 babies have been born in exile;
\n\u2022 Refugees face extreme poverty, limited shelter, limited medical access, virtually no access to education, and children are showing symptoms of psychological strain from the traumas of witnessing war; and
\n\u2022 Some of the top\u00a0worries of \u00a0mothers living in the refugee camps include the hardships of childbirth in such a setting, worries about what they\u2019ll feed their newborn and the feeling of abandonment.<\/p>\n
