First aid to Syrian refugees as they cross into Iraq
Refugees traveling extensive distances experienced muscle and bone pain from the long journey on foot. With temperatures dropping during the night— the time most made their way across the Syrian-Iraqi border— many also caught colds and fevers.
Six-month-old Ryan spent the previous night outside and was brought to Medair’s clinic with high fever.
EU financial support for emergency interventions, such as the mobile clinics operated by Medair, is helping provide access to life-saving health care to vulnerable Syrian refugees.
