As humanitarian health needs continue to rise across parts of the Middle East, WHO has released US$2 million from its Contingency Fund for Emergencies (CFE) to support the health response in Lebanon, Iraq and Syria.
In Syria, more than 104,300 people who recently crossed from Lebanon have arrived in the country. Meanwhile, in the northeast, the situation remains fragile for more than 116,900 internally displaced people living across 165 communities. A US$500,000 allocation will support the procurement and distribution of essential medicines and medical supplies, ensure access to life-saving health services for displaced populations, and strengthen disease surveillance to detect and respond to potential outbreaks.
