Qatar Red Crescent Society provides medical assistance to internally displaced Syrians


The war in Syria has left 13.4 million people in need of humanitarian protection in the country.

The Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) said on Monday that it aims to provide medical assistance to 5,9000 internally displaced Syrians in northern Syria on a monthly basis.

The organisation said that its Zouf Health Center receives at least 2,300 visitors per month as the Kafr Jales health Center receives 3,600 others. QRCS also deploys mobile medical clinics to provide healthcare for remote and inaccessible camps.

The health facilities provide ambulance services, outpatient clinics, laboratory tests, and free medications.

The clinics come as part of QRCS’s efforts to support Syrian refugees and those who have been internally displaced by the ongoing war in Syria under the Bashar Al-Assad regime.

According to the UN, there are at least 5,721,883 registered Syrian refugees who were forced to leave their homeland due to the ongoing war in Syria since 2011. The war had also internally displaced 6.7 million people.
