In an instant response to the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Aleppo, Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) distributed relief aid and dispatched mobile clinics for Syrian internally displaced people (IDPs). In cooperation with Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS), QRCS personnel in Lebanon began installing thermal insulators inside the tents of Syrian refugees.
The first mobile clinic was sent by Anjara Health Center to Atarib Twon to visit the IDP-hosting households. A 24/7 makeshift clinic was set up at the most frontline IDP destination, with daytime doctors and a night paramedic.
A second mobile clinic headed for Maarrat Al-Ikhwan in northern Idlib countryside. Comprising an internist, a dermatologist, a midwife, nurses, and community health workers, the mobile clinic screened and helped IDPs medically.
At the same time, four health teams went to Armanaz, Darat Izza, Qah, and Atarib, where they examined more than 240 children under the age of five and referred serious cases to hospitals.
The evacuations from Aleppo will be closely monitored over the coming days, and if necessary, more mobile clinics will be sent in coordination with partners and concerned authorities, QRCS said.
