The border crossing of Bab-al-Hawa saw another 18 trucks of medical supplies delivered by WHO cross from Türkiye into the conflict zone of Northwest Syria as part of an interagency United Nations convoy on 8 July 2022.
At a value of 1.4 million USD, the medical supplies delivered by WHO contained emergency health kits, provisions for the treatment of chronic diseases, personal protective equipment and other essential medicines.
A portion of this shipment was a generous in-kind donation from the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) for a total value of nearly 358,000 USD. Loaded onto four trucks, the donation included emergency health kits, aprons, self-assembly visors and examination gloves which will go directly to the healthcare facilities in Northwest Syria via WHO’s partners.
WHO would like to thank F
