Geneva, 8 December 2024: The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is following closely the recent developments and the humanitarian situation in Syria.
The life-saving work of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) volunteers continues, and its branches spread all over the country are committed to supporting people in need. They continue to provide food, water, and basic items, emergency health care and support to hospitals with medical supplies and clean and safe water.
The IFRC is already in Syria and has been supporting SARC humanitarian activities for decades. It is ready to scale up wherever necessary.
It is vital that all parties respect and protect civilians, humanitarian workers, healthcare facilities and infrastructure, and ensure humanitarian access across Syria.
Thirteen years of conflict have seen the people of Syria endure immense suffering and displacement. This coupled with 2023’s major earthquake and the impact of the ongoing Middle East Crisis has hit millions of people hard and left deep wounds in communities.
People in Syria face immense and urgent needs. The IFRC is deeply committed to continue providing humanitarian services.
