Syrian Refugees Information System (SRIS)

This activity is carried out in the framework of a regional project aiming at providing accessibility to disabled persons to public spaces and to job opportunities. The specific action described here is carried out in the previouly mentioned regions in Lebanon but also in Aleppo and in Zaatari camp in Jordan through our local partners. Specialized staff will examine the syrian refugees and provide the most suitable technical aid to cope with his physical disability. Moreover, patients will receive on average 10 physiotherapy sessions during the period of the activity.

In view of the urgency of the situation, Terre des hommes quickly started a broad action of support for the Palestinian and Syrian displaced persons taken in by the Palestinian refugee camps located in the Tyre area, in the south of the country. Within three days, mattresses, blankets and pillows were distributed by the teams on the ground.

As there are no field hospitals operating in Lebanon, unlike other host countries, the burden of meeting refugees’ secondary health care needs falls on the existing public and private hospital system. Providing health care in this way greatly strains the resources of the hospitals treating this population, and hospitalizations can be extremely costly.
Since January, through contracts with 17 hospitals, International Medical Corps has supported treatment for 11,695 inpatients and 1,752 outpatients. 90 percent of these patients are women, children and elderly.
