Delivered in 3 trucks and weighing nearly 20 tonnes, the shipment will enable approximately 450,000 treatment courses, helping sustain care for an estimated 150,000 people.

“Nearly 80% of people in this region rely on humanitarian health assistance, and every shipment like this helps us keep facilities open and health workers equipped,” said WHO Emergency Lead for the Gaziantep field office, Rosa Crestani. “We are deeply grateful to KSrelief for this timely support. These supplies will go directly to hospitals and clinics across Idlib and Aleppo that are working tirelessly to serve their communities.”
