British Jews have helped more than 17,500 people fleeing Syria and other war-torn countries over the past year, according to a new report.
The community raised £944,000 in response to an appeal by World Jewish Relief launched last September.
According to a report issued by the charity this week, the money has provided 3,169 children with winter kits including coats and blankets. It also paid for 2,050 back-to-school kits, helping refugee children in Turkey access education.
The report also states that, as a result of the appeal, more than 4,000 refugees were provided with medical care in Greece and a further 7,474 were given water, food and warm clothes.
