Al-Sham Emergency System Joins in Assisting the Wounded in Al-Rashideen Bombing

Neutrality, in all its different connotations, has never meant a mere verbose attitude; it is rather a concrete reaction that rises out of the ashes of people’s suffering and brings back that good old authentic feeling and simply mixes it with the righteousness of the deed. Aware of its humanitarian responsibility and its ethical commitment to unreservedly assist the wounded and the sick, Al-Sham Emergency System joined in the transportation of injured civilians after the bombing that targeted Al-Rashideen area on Saturday, April 15, 2017. That April Spring was a witness to a decaying human reality that has been unwoven and deprived of its humanist threads a long time ago and had the figures of its carpet submerged under the currents of blood and violence. Tens of wounded and injured children and women, victims of a car bomb explosion at the evacuation point, have been granted medical assistance.

Al-Sham Emergency system has deployed about 11 ambulances in conjunction with a medical team of 22 first aid rescuers to save so many people, including children and women, and transport them to nearby hospitals in the areas of the western countryside of Aleppo and Idlib. In our turn, we salute all the medical staff who contributed to this noble task, and who proved to everybody how committed to their humanitarian cause they are and how they nobly did it for the sake of that commitment only.

Through its emergency system, which is present in more than one Syrian region, and its medical centers, Al-Sham Humanitarian Foundation continues to provide medical support for the Syrian people wherever it can afford it. Since it was launched in March 2015, Al-Sham Emergency System has worked on several objectives, including providing optimal medical and emergency services to the wounded as well as properly transporting the injured in order to prevent any medical error during intervention. The number of people who have benefited from its emergency fleet has reached more than 58 thousand, distributed in four governorates, namely, Idlib, Aleppo, Eastern Ghouta and the Lattakia countryside.
