Canadians: Humanitarian Coalition

Humanitarian Coalition: The Humanitarian Coalition said they believe Canadians want to support the estimated 6.8 million people affected by the ongoing civil war in Syria, but don't know how. , according to Winnipeg Free Press. "We've also seen that many Canadians have almost been paralyzed in their response as they've been watching this political and conflict situation arise, in part because they don't know who to trust, they don't know what's going on, they don't know how to help," Fox said. OTTAWA - A coalition of aid groups launched a public campaign Tuesday to raise money for Syrian refugees, saying demand for assistance far outpaces global government donations. The Syrian-Canadian community has exhausted its resources to assist family members and churches and unions have tried to help as well, said Robert Fox, executive director for Oxfam Canada.
