Aid for Families in Syria

GlobalMedic has just sent its 56th sea container full of humanitarian aid including water purification solutions, and medical supplies to Syria to support displaced Syrian families who continue to bear the brunt of the conflict.

All funds raised will continue to go towards distributing Family Emergency Kits and Emergency Food Kits.

Family Emergency Kits provide a family with a water purification solution to ensure they have access to clean drinking water. The kits also include basic hygiene supplies as well as a solar light. Clean drinking water and proper hygiene are the first line of defence against the spread of disease and provide lifesaving assistance.

We have switched up our Emergency Food Kit for Syria, creating a kit full of culturally appropriate pantry stables. The kits include items like rice, green lentils and chickpeas. Families receive the kits and can then prepare the ingredients in the manner they prefer. The food kits are packed by volunteers in Canada and distributed to families along with the Family Emergency Kit.

These two solutions mean a family now has access to clean, water hygiene items and nutritious, locally appropriate and good tasting food.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, vulnerable families including those in Syria continue to be most affected. GlobalMedic has been responding to increased needs caused by the pandemic, supplying Personal Protective Equipment like masks and face shields to help better protect those at risk.

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