Bringing Clean Water to Families in Need in Syria

High population density and limited water infrastructure have caused severe water shortages across informal camps in the Afrin area. To protect displaced families from water distress, BESME INSANI launched an emergency water trucking campaign. Over two weeks, our logistical team delivered 300,000 liters of safe, chlorinated drinking water to 1,000 displaced families, supporting approximately 5,000 individuals.

Many households had been forced to restrict daily water intake due to the high cost of commercial water trucks. Our emergency intervention provided free daily water allocations directly to registered families, ensuring adequate supplies for drinking, cooking, and household hygiene needs.

Operations were executed efficiently using sanitized water tankers equipped with long delivery hoses to fill household tanks directly. Field monitors worked alongside local camp leaders to verify recipient lists, giving priority access to widows, elderly individuals, and persons with special needs.

Providing safe, free drinking water protects public health while easing household financial stress. BESME INSANI continues to monitor water availability across Syrian displacement camps, working to expand WASH interventions and provide dignified humanitarian support.

Severe infrastructure deficits and high temperatures create ongoing water stress across informal displacement settlements in Northern Aleppo. Responding to these urgent WASH needs, BESME INSANI completed an emergency clean water trucking project targeting remote camp communities. Through this campaign, our team distributed 360,000 liters of purified drinking water to 1,200 vulnerable households (~6,000 individuals).

Impoverished families in these rural sites frequently struggle to secure basic water for drinking, cooking, and personal hygiene. Heavy-duty water tankers filled from tested, chlorinated water stations navigated rough terrain to fill family storage containers and camp bladders directly at shelter locations.

Strict quality control procedures were enforced throughout the operation. Field officers tested water quality at filling stations and delivery points to ensure compliance with international humanitarian standards. Field staff also shared practical hygiene tips with residents to encourage safe water storage and prevent contamination.

Delivering clean water provides immediate health protection for infants and young children, preventing dehydration and intestinal illness. BESME INSANI extends its gratitude to humanitarian partners whose contributions support these life-saving water supply operations for displaced Syrian families.
