Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has responded to the heavy rain and subsequent floods in northern Syria, which affected thousands of internally displaced people (IDPs) in 22 camps across five towns of Idlib and Aleppo Governorates.
The bad weather damaged 2,214 tents inhabited by 2,329 households in Atme, Sarmada, Deir Hassan, Al-Dana and Al-Bab.
In response, QRCS’ representation mission in Gaziantep, Turkey, activated its disaster information centre to manage the emergency response. It coordinates with UN agencies, as well as local and international relief providers, to monitor the movement of IDPs, evacuate the submerged camps, and secure transportation
and shelter.
So far, they have distributed 3,190 blankets to the IDPs in Idlib countryside, set up 200 tents at Atme IDP camps, deployed three mobile clinics to the IDP destinations and participated in the UN cluster
coordination meetings.
Based on the needs assessment on the ground, a plan was developed to provide $750,000 worth of medical and relief aid for 6,100 households (30,500 persons, basically children) in Aleppo, Idlib, and
Hama Governorates.
The plan will cover food and non-food items, water and sanitation, makeshift shelters, first aid supplies, mobile clinics and medical equipment. These provisions are aimed at alleviating the suffering of IDPs, reducing the morbidity and mortality rates, meeting the basic needs of IDPs, addressing the shortages in medical supplies at camp clinics, and helping the municipalities and health authorities to contain the situation.
Among the items to be distributed are mattresses, blankets, medicines, surgical consumables and drinking water. Also, the plan involves deploying multi-service mobile clinics, gravelling roads and footpaths to prevent them from turning muddy, laying sewage pipelines, installing clean toilets, opening catering hubs to provide meals, and clearing roads to allow rescue and evacuation activities.Medical and relief aid worth $750,000 to be provided to 6,100 households in Aleppo, Idlib and Hama governorates; 3,190 blankets distributed; 200 tents set up
