SARC volunteers help in the aid convoy of 31 trucks which was on its way to the western rural side of Aleppo.
Volunteers are vital in delivering aid, such as with the convoy set to arrive in Aleppo on Sept. 19 prior to its attack.
SARC volunteers help evacuate civilians during conflict, such as in this photo from Sept. 13th.
On September 8th, SARC evacuated 25 people, one of them this little girl from Madaya.
SARC-Homs psycho-social support team held many recreational and motivating activities for 2500 displaced children in Homs and its countryside.
Around 60 children live in shelters with their families in the rural area of Al-Majbal after fleeing Aleppo. In a makeshift tent, volunteers from SARC’s psychosocial support team provide activities for the children.

On September 19th, there was a deadly attack on a convoy bringing humanitarian aid to the city of Aleppo. The Canadian Red Cross joins the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement in
condemning this attack.
Around 20 civilians and one Syrian Arab Red Crescent staff member were killed as they were unloading trucks carrying vital humanitarian aid. Much of the aid was destroyed. This attack deprives thousands of civilians of much-needed food and medical assistance.
In photos, we take a look at the dedicated work of Red Crescent volunteers in a time of turmoil. Aleppo and its surrounding area has seen conflict in the area for the past five years and volunteers have provided psycho-social support, health and food parcels, water maintenance and much more throughout this time.
The Red Cross and Red Crescent is calling for safe, unrestricted access to vulnerable people in Syria.
