QC offers medical relief for displaced in Aleppo

Qatar Charity (QC) has provided drugs and medical consumables to the displaced people of Aleppo, as well as therapeutic feeding for children suffering from malnutrition in Syria.
The project, funded by the Qatar Development Fund, aims at providing medications and consumables needed to mobile and field hospitals.
As part of this project, QC provided 65 tonnes of medicines and medical consumables including anaesthetics, antibiotics and intravenous fluids, primary healthcare medicines, bone fasteners, surgical consumables and intensive care medicine. Eight hospitals in Aleppo and Idlib countryside and  Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations (UOSSM) hospitals benefited from the supplies  offered to secure the lives of Aleppo residents.
The project is part of Syria Humanitarian Response Plan (SHRP 2016), which is overseen by the United Nations Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Gaziantep. The project was approved as part of Health Cluster projects and was financed by Qatar Development Fund. QC’s regional office in Gaziantep, Turkey, near the Turkish-Syrian border, and the field teams in Syria are continuously on a high alert to meet the needs of the people displaced from Aleppo.
QC has extended deepest thanks to Qatar Development Fund for financing this large project, which will have a positive impact on the people displaced from Aleppo.
As part of its continuous relief efforts and “Syria… cold and hunger” campaign, QC is sending truckloads of foodstuffs and heating items across the Turkish-Syrian border for 40,000 displaced people of Aleppo.
QC’s relief teams have facilitated the entry of 12 trucks that include foodstuffs, baby milk and heating items to cover the needs of 20,000 people across the Turkish-Syrian border. Funded by Qatar Fund for Development, Qatar Charity has provided five ambulances with advanced ambulatory system services to evacuate, and offer health and surgical care to the people displaced from Aleppo.
The ambulances arrived at Bab Al-Hawa Border Crossing to evacuate the wounded people, where the local authorities established temporary camps for the internally displaced people suffering from very critical health conditions.  
The current crisis in Syria is the greatest humanitarian crisis in modern history, as the latest UN statistics indicate that 13.5mn people in Syria are in dire need for humanitarian aid, and that 4.9mn people are in need for urgent assistance in the most difficult areas to access and the besieged ones. About 6.3mn people are internally displaced, 7mn people have no food security and 1.75mn children are out of school.
