Since the beginning of 2026, humanitarian crises have been multiplying and civilian populations in conflict zones are paying an ever-heavier price. Ceasefires are fragile, health systems are collapsing and, for millions of people, accessing healthcare has become a daily struggle.
During Ramadan and Lent, periods of solidarity and sharing for many communities, Mehad calls for action to preserve human dignity where it is most threatened.
In several countries where the NGO operates, notably Syria and Yemen, families sometimes have to choose between feeding themselves and accessing healthcare. In this context, every medical intervention represents much more than just an act of healthcare: it restores hope and dignity.
Access to healthcare: a vital priority
On the ground, Mehad teams continue their commitment to the most vulnerable populations. Thanks to donor support, thousands of patients were treated last year:
– 68,869 consultations to detect and treat cases of severe acute malnutrition in children.
– 3,822 births attended in 2025 in facilities supported by Mehad, ensuring the safety of mothers and newborns.
– 6,619 dialysis sessions performed for patients with kidney failure, often with no alternative treatment available.
Behind these figures are lives saved and families supported despite the war.
Strengthening health systems for tomorrow
Beyond emergency care, Mehad works to rebuild sustainable healthcare systems. Every year, the organisation trains doctors, nurses, psychologists and midwives to strengthen local capacities and guarantee long-term access to healthcare.
This commitment is part of a broader vision: to enable populations to regain their health autonomy, even in fragile contexts where infrastructure has been destroyed.
Acting together for dignity
With humanitarian needs continuing to rise and international funding declining, 2026 promises to be a decisive year for humanitarian action.
In this month of solidarity, supporting Mehad means choosing action over indifference. It means enabling children to receive treatment, mothers to give birth safely, and patients with chronic illnesses to continue living with dignity.
Together, let us continue to preserve human dignity where it is most threatened.
