Under the waters of Idleb: flooding in the refugee camps

19 January 2024

The rains in Idleb have triggered a humanitarian tragedy, with major consequences for the refugee camps. The weather conditions have transformed the lives of thousands of families, faced with precarious shelters that are now flooded and growing health risks.

Flooded tents, families in distress

The rain has turned the camps into flooded areas, creating a harsh reality. Families, already vulnerable, are struggling to cope with the cold and damp that are invading their precarious shelters. The struggle for survival is reaching critical levels in these complicated weather conditions.

Increased health risks

In addition to the loss of homes, the floods have triggered a health crisis. Contaminated water is threatening the health of residents, increasing the risk of water-borne diseases. The rapid spread of these diseases represents an imminent threat that requires an urgent response.

Mehad in action:

In the face of these health risks, and to effectively help the affected populations, Mehad is acting quickly by deploying essential medical care as part of our commitment to saving lives and alleviating the suffering of affected families.
