As people continue to flee the north east (NE) Syria conflict into Iraq, MSF launched Saturday medical activities at one reception site along the border with Syria and assessed mental health needs in one camp in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. MSF teams assessed different locations at the border of Syria but also in Iraq where most probably refugees from Syria will arrive. They screened the places, looked at what was already in place, what other actors are doing and where would be the most appropriate and relevant places for MSF to respond to potential influx of Syrian refugees. Since 19th October, MSF teams are run two mobile clinics providing primary health care, psychological first aid and nutritional status screening at one reception site as well as assessed Mental-Health needs in Bardarash camp while continuing to prepare in case of a surge in the number of arrivals. Indicative of what seems to be endless waves of displacement in this region, Bardarash camp where MSF just started working, was originally opened for people fleeing the IS group in Mosul in 2014. The camp was closed in 2018 as its residents went back to the relatively calm Mosul, only to be reopened last week, this time to host people coming from out of Syria.
