Northern Syria: Acute water crisis poses serious health risks

In Northern Syria, a decade of war has left the water and sanitation infrastructures destroyed and neglected. This situation directly impacts more than 3 million people. Throughout its activities, MSF is regularly confronted with the health impacts of water scarcity, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene education, which is often bringing waterborne diseases and other health issues. In the Northwest, due to the decreasing funding for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) activities, the number of WASH facilities is currently highly insufficient in camps, and many people living there are consequently limiting their water consumption or resorting to unsafe sources and raising the risk of waterborne and skin diseases. Over the ten years of conflict, MSF has developed a comprehensive water, sanitation and hygiene response, adopting a gap filling approach, to cover the needs of people. But the organization finds itself unable to cover all the needs. This photo album highlights MSF’s Water and Sanitation regular activities in camps in northwest Syria.
