Health risks and preventive measures at reception points

/in /by

The concentration of large numbers of displaced people at key reception points increases the chances of spreading infectious diseases, such as diarrhea, scabies, smallpox, jaundice, worms, and leishmaniasis, leading to serious health risks and exacerbating suffering under these difficult conditions. Health education teams, in collaboration with the WASH team, distributed hygiene sacks and disseminated health guidelines. However, there is still an urgent need to provide hygiene tools and strengthen the sanitation system to ensure the health and safety of internally displaced persons (IDPs).

The humanitarian crisis in Aleppo and AlShahba: an appeal for solidarity and assistance

/in , , , /by
 
The city of #Aleppo, its countryside, and the Al-Shahba area are experiencing a severe humanitarian crisis, worsened by recent military events in these regions. This has resulted in the mass displacement of thousands of families, including many children, women, and the elderly, who are enduring harsh conditions of homelessness and bitter cold for days.
For our part, in addition to our readiness to provide necessary healthcare during their displacement and until they reach safe areas under the Autonomous Administration, we are committed to offering assistance to the best of our abilities. We urge our people at home and in the diaspora to extend a helping hand as much as possible, as solidarity in times of crisis reflects our humanity and strengthens the values of cooperation and brotherhood among us.
We hope for peace for all our people throughout Syria.
