Project Report | Dec 27, 2024
December Project Update 2024

By Laura Garrioch | Emergency Programs Officer

After more than 12 years of hostilities, people in Syria continue to have their daily lives impacted by this multifaceted crisis. Following the collapse of the Syrian government on December 8, needs have surged and the situation remains dire. Mass displacement and the influx of returning refugees will continue to strain humanitarian resources even further. GlobalMedic continues to support families impacted by the war in Syria through the distribution of Family Emergency Kits and Emergency Food Kits.

Family Emergency Kits provide reliable access to clean drinking water for up to a year. Each kit contains a water purification system that is easy to use and portable. When families lose access to clean drinking water, rates of water borne illnesses skyrocket. Not only this, but lack of proper hygiene practices can further promote the spread of illnesses. Hygiene supplies are included in each kit to ensure that families retain the ability to maintain good hygiene. Solar lights are then added to provide a sense of comfort and normalcy.

Emergency Food Kits are assembled by volunteers, and combine culturally appropriate food items. By providing families with options, they are able to decide which nutritious pantry staple fits their family's dietary preferences best. These pantry staples include rice, green lentils and chickpeas. With millions of families across Syria facing severe food insecurity, distributing shelf-stable food items is crucial.

It is critical to keep aid flowing into Syria. Both kits provide families affected by conflict with simple, effective solutions. 

Please donate today to help us send more aid to those affected by this ongoing crisis in Syria!
