Syrian Conflict Response

With the Syrian conflict in its twelfth year, the devastation continues. Today, 16.7 million Syrians are in need of humanitarian assistance, many of whom have been forced to flee their homes. There are 5.5 million Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in Syria including over 2 million who live in last resort sites. 15 million Syrians are unable to meet their food needs with an additional 2.9 million people at risk of food insecurity. All 2 million people living in camps have been deemed 100% food insecure, creating a huge impact on their every day life.

Access to WASH services has been compromised by the prolonged deterioration of infrastructure caused by damage from the conflict and limited maintenance. This has put 13.55 million people in need of WASH assistance. 2022 saw the first outbreak of cholera in Syria in decades and this is a direct result of the worsening water situation.

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 aiding Syrians affected by the conflict 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.
