A flight is scheduled to reach Damascus tonight with specialised emergency health supplies, which are vital for frontline workers as they manage casualties.
In addition, we are supporting surge capacity of frontline specialised medical teams.
On the morning of the earthquake, WHO immediately accessed its pre-positioned supplies in the northwest and Aleppo, making treatment of major injuries immediately possible.
After checking on the welfare of their own families, our staff immediately went to warehouses to start distributing supplies to health facilities.
WHO is working across all affected areas and further scaling up across the country, including in the northwest.
WHO immediately made available 16 million US dollars from the Contingency Fund for Emergencies for the response in both the Syrian Arab Republic and Türkiye.
