In Ak-Burhan camp in northern rural Aleppo, displaced families are regaining access to essential health services after years of hardship.

For Khaled Hussein Ali, the past decade has been marked by struggle and uncertainty. After spending nearly 10 years in Al-Hol camp, he recalls the difficult conditions his family endured.

“The suffering has been long. We went through very tough days, and even basic living conditions were a struggle,” he says. Accessing health care was particularly challenging, especially in emergencies, as leaving the camp for treatment was not always possible.

Today, access to care has improved. “Here, in Ak-Burhan camp, the situation is better. Mobile medical teams visit regularly, providing the treatment and medications we need,” he adds.

Health services in the camp are being delivered through mobile medical teams supported by the World Health Organization and funded by the European Union (EU) through its Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO), helping to bridge critical gaps in access to care for displaced populations.
