A Bradford based human rights charity has launched an £18,000 fundraising appeal to buy two ambulances for Syria.

Basic Human Rights (BHR) in Sunbridge Road is working with Syrian doctors and nurses to provide life saving medical care and relief inside the conflict-stricken Homs District.

Over the past 15 months the UN estimates at least 9,000 people have died in violence, thousands have been injured and tens of thousands of civilians have been forced to flee their homes. To find out more about how to help go to www.basichumanrights.org.uk
