HI provides rehabilitation services to people injured during the conflict as well as to persons with disabilities. These services are delivered across several regions of Syria, including Aleppo, Homs, Rural Damascus, Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor. HI collaborates with a dozen local medical facilities to deliver these services, and prosthetics and orthotics.
HI teams conduct disposal operation to clear mainly school, hospital and civilian infrastructure in general from explosive hazards in Raqqa, Deir-ez-Zorr, Hama and Idlib. HI conducts contamination impact surveys to understand the extent and impact of explosive ordnance contamination.
HI also implements Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) to help communities avoid dangerous items.These sessions target populations most exposed to risk: Internally displaced people living in contaminated areas; refugees and returning families; farmers and shepherds; working-age men; humanitarian and social workers; children; and persons with disabilities.
HI continues to support vulnerable populations through rehabilitation services, inclusive education, disaster preparedness, and humanitarian mine action activities across the country. In Northeast Syria, HI works closely with local communities and partners to strengthen community resilience against natural hazards. Through community-based risk management activities, residents are trained to identify risks and prepare for potential natural disasters and emergencies.
HI supports inclusive education programs in the governorates of Raqqa and Deir-ez-Zor. These programs aim to ensure that children with disabilities can access education alongside their peers. HI works with schools, teachers, and families to adapt learning environments, promote inclusive teaching methods, and remove barriers that prevent children with disabilities from attending school.
