In the wake of movements for revolutionary change across the Arab Levant and Maghreb, civil protests against the Assad regime began in Syria in Spring 2011. Over the past 20 months, civil war has proliferated across the country. In the same period, the response by the regime has grown progressively more repressive and violent, culminating in the almost continuous use of heavy weaponry against densely populated urban areas in concert with indiscriminate shooting, arbitrary arrest, torture and killing of citizens by internal security forces.

Programming is focusing on providing medical, protection as well as environmental health assistance, to those most in need.
