Syrian Conflict Response

With the Syrian conflict entering its eleventh year, the devastation continues. Today, 13.4 million Syrians are in need of humanitarian assistance, many of whom have been forced to flee their homes. There are 6.7 million Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in Syria and 6.6 million refugees in other countries around the world. Almost all of these refugees are living in neighbouring countries like Turkey and Lebanon, placing an added strain on resources there. 2.98 million people are located in hard-to-reach and besieged areas. 12.4 million Syrians are unable to meet their food needs of which 1.3 million are severely food insecure. 36% of the population currently rely on often unsafe alternatives to piped water. In north-west Syria alone, 630,000 IDPs urgently need continued humanitarian WASH assistance.

The ongoing Syrian conflict continues to force families to flee their homes. Often leaving at a moment’s notice, these families are unable to pack important materials to support themselves as they move to safer areas. These mobile populations face serious health and safety risks and are in desperate need of humanitarian support.

GlobalMedic has been sending aid to Syria since 2014 and will continue to do so as long as the need exists. Our Water, Food, Medical, and Shelter programs have all been activated for this response.

Our primary focus is ensuring that families have access to clean drinking water and food. We distribute Family Emergency Kits which contain a water purification solution and hygiene items, with additional items like oral rehydration salts, Lucky Iron Fish, whistles and solar lights may also be added.

We also distribute our Emergency Food Kits which have been designed specifically for our Syrian response and are a culturally appropriate and nutritious solution for families.
