What is the humanitarian situation in Syria?

The fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime does not mark the end of the Syrian crisis. Even if the remaining parties to the conflict reach an agreement and bring an end to the nearly 13-year war, the country faces years of reconstruction. Immediate support is also essential: nearly 17 million people on the ground require humanitarian aid. The Polish Medical Mission, active in Syria since 2016, is responding to the situation on the ground.

The swift offensive launched by rebels from their enclave in northwestern Syria does not signify the end of the crisis. It remains uncertain whether a government acceptable to all sides of the nearly 13-year conflict will emerge. Early clashes between Turkish-backed forces (the Syrian National Army) and the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces suggest that the war has merely entered a new phase.

It is no secret what will emerge from the fog of war: primarily rubble and a multifaceted humanitarian crisis. At the beginning of this year, it was estimated that around 1,000,000 residential buildings in Syria had been destroyed or damaged. The number of people in need of humanitarian aid was estimated at 16,700,000. This is the result of years of devastating war and last year’s earthquake.

Our work in Syria so far

Our past projects were aimed 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 received 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.
