Please donate to Syrians if you can. They have absolutely no infrastructure and they hardly received any international aid. It's a disaster with unbelievable impact on the already fragile Syrian community.

How do you donate to syrians, or more accurately how do you make sure your money isn't being taken by sometime else? Would be nice to directly give to them instead of organizations.
Quite hard actually to find a good way to donate into the relevant Syrian region
For reference, sanctions have been partially lifted for this. Do not worry about legal repercussions.
Those sanctions are often enforced by financial institutions (banks). They rather stop transactions or freeze your account than take a chance.
