"The outbreak of cholera threatens more misery on hundreds of thousands of Syrians already at risk from hunger, conflict, and the coming winter. Across the country some 70% of the population now need help to meet their basic survival needs."
— Tanya Evans, IRC Syria Country Director

Friend —

Following years of fighting, there is now 40% less drinking water in Syria than before the conflict began. The scarcity of clean drinking water is driving a spike in cholera cases caused by ingesting contaminated water or food.

The Euphrates River is the main water source in Syria for hundreds of thousands of people. In areas where the piped water supply does not meet their basic needs, many people are left looking for alternative sources that may be contaminated by sewage.

Friend, we're in this for the long-haul: We pledge to put the needs of those most affected by the crisis at the forefront of our efforts and to achieve measurable improvements in safety, health, and economic well-being. Support from monthly contributions powers our response to emergencies like this each and every day. Can you help us support communities in Syria and crisis zones worldwide by beginning a monthly gift today?

The IRC has been working directly with health facilities in Syria to provide medical supplies for the prevention, control, and treatment of the cholera outbreak, from training health workers on case detection and management, to hygiene awareness through house-to-house visits, to distributing oral rehydration therapy and zinc tablets to impacted communities.

We also support healthcare facilities and mobile health teams to provide trauma services as well as primary, reproductive, and mental health care in Syria. And, our COVID-19 response includes training health workers in infection prevention and control.

Begin your monthly gift now to help the IRC support families affected by the Syrian conflict and in crisis zones worldwide. Our response depends on the generosity of supporters just like you.

Through years of conflict and crisis, this community of humanitarians has helped bring hope to Syria's people. Thank you for stepping up today to make a difference.

— Hank, IRC Supporter Communications
