Three-year-old Lana has never known life outside of conflict. Born in northern Aleppo after her family fled violence, she has grown up in a crowded displacement camp where families share tents, clean water is scarce, and the risk of disease is high.

Her father still remembers the night her fever spiked.

“We were terrified and worried about her. At first, we thought it was just a simple illness and tried to give her home remedies. When she didn’t improve, we took her to a nearby hospital,” he recalls.

There, doctors diagnosed Lana with meningitis – a dangerous infection that can be fatal without urgent treatment. She was admitted immediately and placed under close observation. For 14 days, she received intensive care, including medication to control her fever and rehydration to strengthen her fragile body.

“The team was very cooperative; they answered all our questions regarding the treatment and even gave us clear instructions on how to prevent such cases in the future,” her father says.
