People reports that actors Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have donated $1 million to Syrian refugees. $500,000 will be going to Save the Children, which will pay for 250,000 children to get measles vaccines in Northern Syria. The other $500,000 will go to the International Rescue Committee, which aids women and children with education, health care, shelter and sanitation. Justin Forsyth, chief executive of Save the Children, released the following statement: ""By allowing us to make their generous donation to Syrian children public, Sacha and Isla are helping highlight the tragedy of the issue today. These are desperate times for Syrian families facing bombs, bullets and torture in Syria. The couple's donation will save many thousands of lives and protect some of the most vulnerable children."
