For the past ten years, displaced Syrian families have barely made it through the winter, surviving in conditions of freezing rain, snowstorms, and floods. Poor housing conditions and mass displacements have meant that countless families are exposed to bitter winter conditions, without shelter and warm clothing. Over the past ten years, many children have frozen to death in the bitter cold.

To add to these dire conditions, the health of these affected populations has been impacted since the winter brings illness due to a lack of warmth, food, and shelter.

In order to address these dire needs in the winter, Syria Relief and Development’s humanitarian teams are on the ground delivering vital, life-saving services to respond to these pressing needs. Your donation can save lives this winter.

Health care provision to Syrians displaced by the ongoing conflict is a critical and complex issue. Many displaced families fled their homes in already poor health and have since been further affected by trauma and a lack of basic human necessities.

Syria Relief and Development (SRD) has deployed a network of 21 ambulances to provide access to emergency healthcare and trauma services region-wide. The network provides patients in critical emergency care with transportation to trauma facilities, and EMTs provide life-sustaining treatment during transport. Ambulances are equipped with the latest modern medical equipment and the most experienced medical staff in the area. Specialties include care for premature babies, the elderly, and those with critical conditions, as well as patient transport between hospitals.

Approximately 1,400 patients are provided care by SRD’s Emergency Ambulance network each month. In 2018, 19,742 patients were served.

These ambulances serve as the front line for saving the lives of displaced Syrians in need of emergency healthcare services.
