Providing emergency humanitarian assistance to Sweida

Since the beginning of the tragic events in As-Suwayda and southern Syria, we in the Kurdish Red Crescent have exerted our utmost efforts to reach those affected by the violence against civilians, especially in As-Suwayda Governorate. Given the severe tensions in the region, the sensitivity of the southern Syria file, and our concern for the safety of our local partners, cooperating organizations, and beneficiaries, we have committed during this period to working with the least possible visibility in order to protect everyone’s security.

Despite the gravity of the challenges, and thanks to joint efforts—foremost among them the efforts of local communities—we were able during this period to deliver emergency assistance as quickly as possible, which included:

• Supporting displaced families with food aid: 40,000 meals.

• Providing fuel to agricultural associations and farmers to continue their work, contributing to the strengthening of the local market in As-Suwayda city.

• Supplying fuel for several ambulances to ensure the transport of wounded civilians.

• Providing financial assistance to 280 displaced families from conflict areas.

• Helping secure communication and protection for a number of families with their children in various areas inside Syria, and offering them financial support until their return to their families in As-Suwayda Governorate.

In conclusion, we extend our deepest thanks to all partner humanitarian organizations and local partners who worked with dedication under the most difficult circumstances, and we reaffirm that our commitment to supporting our people in As-Suwayda, and across Syria, will continue without interruption.
