Bashira Om Ismael is 45 years old. Her husband passed away in 2011, leaving her as the sole provider for her children. She often struggles to make ends meet.
Shelling has damaged so many schools that her children stopped attending in order to work and support the family. Even then, the family could only afford bread once every 10 days.
Each month, People in Need provide roughly 2,400 families in Syria with food vouchers funded by the European Union. Bashira’s family is one of those recipients and the vouchers enable her to buy food staples such as lentils, oil, and tea. “I do not have to go into debt to buy these things, it has been a great help,” explains Bashira. “I hope when we go to bed, there is no warplanes, no shelling. This is everything I wish.”
