What is the situation in Syria?
Over ten years of conflict, infrastructure degradation, and ongoing displacements in Syria have exposed millions of people to physical injuries, simultaneously creating risks for individuals with disabilities, making it difficult for them to access basic services and support.
Following the recent earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria on February 20, 2023, the number of people with disabilities or limited mobility has increased in northwestern Syria, requiring prosthetics, orthotics, or rehabilitation. Due to the earthquake-damaged medical infrastructure, the demand for orthopedic care has risen and become a critical need in this region.
Our aid in Syria
The current project aims to support people with disabilities in improving their living conditions and access to various services, such as sports, employment, education, and enhancing their mental well-being. Qualified patients will receive prosthetics or orthotics based on their medical needs. The physiotherapy center has been equipped with modern rehabilitation equipment, and there is also an available exercise room. The psychological support center provides services to the affected individuals and their accompanying persons to help them recover, integrate into society, and lead their daily lives.
From April to December 2018, 302 prosthetics were crafted for mutilated women and children in Termanin, who then underwent a full process of physical rehabilitation.
In 2022, we initiated activities in the northeastern region of Syria, collaborating with the Kurdish Red Crescent to improve the quality of medical care. So far, we have supplied life-saving medical equipment for newborns to the Maternity and Children’s Hospital in Al-Raqqa.
