At least 19,000 IDP's in Al-Shayah Farms have no access to medical care, help support our new mobile clinic!


Syrian children still need our support! While bombings have subsided, many children and their families still desperately need our HELP! 

They have already lost everything, they have lost their homes... their sense of safety... and many have lost members of their families and friends. There are over 19,000 internally displaced persons that have set up camps in Al-Shayah farms in southern Syria. It is estimated that half of those people are children.

The healthcare situation in southern Syria is diminishing rapidly, leaving many without access to quality healthcare. There is a shortage of medical personnel and a major lack of medications used to treat chronic illnesses, while the risk of communicable diseases is increasing.

UOSSM USA, a member of UOSSM International, has received a grant to
establish a Medical Mobile Unit in Al-Shayah farms, in southern Daraa, from
the Jordan Humanitarian Fund managed by UN OCHA. The project will will
directly benefit and provide basic healthcare services to an estimated 8250
internally displaced persons living in camps in Al-Shayah Farms over the next
six months.

Daraa, which is nearby, has the second largest population of IDPs with over 53,000 as of February 2016. With the intense bombardment in certain areas, that number has certainly increased in 2017. Al Shayah farms is a previously uninhabited farm. Internally displaced people have been using this area for shelter by establishing their own camps. Transportation is extremely difficult as there are no roads leading to the area.

Currently, there are no local or international organizations/humanitarian aid serving this area where almost half of the inhabitants are children.

The area has a very limited access to food and clean water, and people are living in uninhabitable living conditions. The medical mobile unit (MMU) will provide life-saving and life-sustaining services to vulnerable people who have been displaced by conflict. These people have been without access to healthcare services and those with acute and chronic illnesses have had little/no access to medications. The mobile clinic will travel to populated areas and provide primary care medical consultations/examinations and free medications to patients; many of the free healthcare services that will be provided cater to women and children, such as, reproductive services, antenatal /postnatal care, and awareness education about breastfeeding, and gender based violence. Patients with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease, will also receive medications.

All services provided by the Medical Mobile Unit will be free of charge.

The MMU will save lives by providing transportation to area hospitals, to those in life and death situations. In addition, the mobile clinic will also follow up on children’s illnesses, and provide nutritional services and supplements such as vitamins. UOSSM USA anticipates that 70% of women and children who visit the mobile clinic will receive treatment. With women's health in mind, the MMU team will have a midwife on staff, and the team will be trained to identify and address women’s reproductive health issues, and childhood illnesses and diseases.

UOSSM USA will coordinate with medical organizations to optimize the provision of the best quality care, and will coordinate closely with the Daraa Governate, the Directorate of Health in Daraa, the UOSSM office in southern Syria, community leaders and the Local Council, and other NGOs/ INGOs as appropriate to ensure complementarity and the provision of the best quality of care. There will also be coordination with the Health Sector Working group. The MMU will be supported by the Jordan Regional Office. This is a major step for UOSSM USA as we begin this endeavor to save lives and build hope in Al Shayah Farms. 

But we can't do it without your help! 

Please help us make this project a success so we can help the children and the families of children in Al-Shayah farms. 
UOSSM has provided healthcare to thousands of children in Syria and neighboring countries with services including mental health care, psychosocial support services, and child protection services.

    The people of Idlib, Syria need YOU!

    Salam, 

    We hope this email finds you in the best of health. 
    Syrians in Idlib are suffering immensely as over 948,000 have been newly displaced since December, over 500,000 are children. They have nowhere to go. Many are living out in the open with no shelter. Many medical facilities have been targeted while others are shut down to protect staff and patients.

    UOSSM is on the ground traveling to areas of displaced trying to respond to the unimaginable crisis. But the need is so great. The health of thousands is at stake. 

    Please join our campaign to help provide life-saving medical care and emergency aid to those who need it most. Your gift is zakat eligible and will help save lives.

    Only a few hours left...

    Salam, we hope this message finds you in the best of health. As many of you know the situation in Idlib, Syria has gotten worse. Since April 28, at least 892 civilians were killed and over 1912 were wounded, almost half of the victims are children. At least 50 medical facilities were targeted and attacked, leaving hundreds of thousands with no access to medical care. 

    Today is the last day to support  this campaign. Please give so we can continue to provide medical care to those who need it most!

    The image below shows newborn babies being evacuated after an attack on the Iman Maternity hospital they were just born in, they were still in incubators. 


    UOSSM has been working tirelessly to meet the needs of the newly displaced by operating more mobile clinics in areas of displacement and providing medical services to those who need it most. It is estimated that at least 750,000 were recently displaced, many with nowhere to go living under olive trees.  

     

    But we can't do it alone, let's make a difference together! These families need your support, they need life-saving medical care, mental health care, protection and nutrition services. 


    Show them you care, please donate TODAY. May you be rewarded greatly on this day and every day.

    Salam, we hope this message finds you in the best of health. As many of you know the situation in Idlib has gotten worse.

    Please support us on this blessed day so we can continue to provide medical care to those who need it most!

    The image below went viral as big sister Reham, buried under the rubble tried to save her baby sister from falling. Unfortunately she died as the building collapsed. The children of Syria have had to endure so much. 

    UOSSM started operating more mobile clinics in response to the at least 500,000 newly displaced, providing vital medical services to those who need it most.

    Reminder: The people of Idlib still need you!

    Salam and peace to you and your families. We hope you are taking full advantage and enjoying the last few days of Ramadan. 

    Thank you to all who have supported our campaign: Act4Idlib. There is still time! The contest ends on Sunday at 1 a.m. Please support the people of Idlib if you haven't done so already. The situation is desperate but you can help make a difference. Your gift will help keep our mobile clinics on the ground in new areas of displacement, for the over 350,000 innocent civilians, and help provide our other medical services. 

    Unfortunately, the people of Idlib have spent a very difficult Ramadan fleeing from attacks, losing loved ones, getting wounded and becoming displaced. At least 320 have lost their lives to the indiscriminate attacks. Watch the video below to see the absolute terror the children experienced just this past week. It is painful to watch but is the reality they have been experiencing.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LWu6B3EcNE

    No child should ever have to feel such fear. They have spent Ramadan not knowing when or even if they will have their next meal, being afraid, sad and alone, as the whole world has turned a blind eye to the atrocities. But you can help and show the people that you care. What better time to care and give than these last few days of Ramadan? Please watch this video to the end to see a special message from Imam Zaid Shaker. 

    UOSSM responded the recent crisis by adding 5 mobile clinics, but the need is so great, at least 70 mobile clinics are needed to suffice for the large numbers in need of medical care. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Right now Launchgood has a contest for donations on Laylat Al Qadr that ends tonight at 1am! We could win up to $25,000! This would go a long way to helping the Syrian people. If you haven't done so already, please do give and share this campaign with all of your friends and family, every dollar matters and can make a difference.. Not only will you get the good deeds of these blessed nights but you will do a world of good. Your donation is zakat eligible and tax deductible. Together we can save lives and build hope.

    The people of Idlib need you on this special day!

    Salam and peace to you on these blessed days. We hope you are enjoying this beautiful month and feeling the peace and tranquility. 
    Unfortunately, that is not the case for the Syrian people in Idlib. They have spent Ramadan fleeing from attacks, losing loved ones, getting wounded and becoming displaced. At least 320 have lost their lives to the indiscriminate attacks...They have spent Ramadan not knowing when or even if they will have their next meal. They have spent Ramadan afraid, sad and alone, as the whole world has turned a blind eye to the atrocities. One UOSSM staff member lost 3 of his children and his mother just a few days ago. There is no end in sight. UOSSM has responded to the over 350,000 displaced by operating 5 more mobile clinics.But the need is so great, at least 70 mobile clinics are needed to suffice for the large numbers in need of medical care. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Right now Launchgood has a contest for donations on Laylat Al Qadr! We could win up to $25,000! This would go a long way to helping the Syrian people.

    Act4Idlib this Ramadan! The people of Syria need you

    Salam- Ramadan Kareem. Peace and blessings to you in this blessed month.

    As you read this message the people in Idlib are suffering immensely. They are under attack...At least 160 have been killed and at least 600 were wounded. A large number of those casualties are women and children. As of today, 19 medical facilities were targeted and put out of service. According to our sources on the ground, the bombardment has forced over 350,000 to flee the violence. They have nowhere to turn so at least 20% of those displaced are living under the olive trees. They are deprived of food, water, basic sanitation and medical care. See video here.
    In response, UOSSM will be operating 5 more mobile clinics and will continue to reach those displaced people, providing medical and mental health care, protection and nutrition services. Please support our campaign and act 4 Idlib so YOU can help provide medical care to those who desperately need it. They  need your support. Please give and share this campaign with your family and friends. May the rewards of your generosity and support be multiplied and may you find the blessings in your families and loved ones.

    Maximize your good deeds on the Day of Arafat!

    Peace and blessings to you and your family. We pray this message finds you in the best of health. On this blessed day of Arafat won't you consider supporting our campaign? Giving on this day will maximize your good deeds, and what better gift to give than the gift of health!

    Haneen and Farah were 2 sisters that were wounded by airstrikes in October 2016, their mother thought they would never walk again.

    UOSSM doctors helped these 2 girls and saved their lives. Please help UOSSM continue to do life saving work to help children and families throughout Syria. 


    The same attack killed their father and wounded all three sisters. It is a miracle that all three survived... Click here to watch the video.

    As the situation in Syria continues to deteriorate, the need for medical care grows. There are thousands of untold stories just like Farah and Haneen's; 1000's of children lost limbs and can no longer play and be carefree...1000's of fathers can no longer earn a living and provide for their families...1000's of mothers can no longer care for their children. UOSSM is on the ground helping amputees get the care they need; saving the lives of those with life-threatening injuries. UOSSM is on the ground providing care to all affected by the Syrian crisis. 

    Please support our campaign on this blessed day. May your generosity and support rewards be multiplied and may you find the blessings in your families and loved ones.
