And then came coronavirus…
Nearly a decade of war in Syria has displaced millions of people, spawned rampant poverty, and has decimated the country’s healthcare system. After having its first cases of Covid19 confirmed, Syria now braces itself for a potential epidemic.

Our dear friends @SyriaCivilDef are working tirelessly to spread public awareness and have started systematically sterilising public facilities.
As well as establishing online consultations to inspect symptoms and a telephone hotline for patients, the extraordinary @org_violet are also running specialised training for paramedics in how to treat infected patients safely.
Reaching out to communities in isolation, @hihfaduk will be providing food and hygiene kits alongside their usual medical response.
In order to contain the virus, @molhamteam are running an awareness campaign and are distributing food packs in the affected areas, meaning people do not have to go to work in order to provide for their families.
And the busy doctors and healthcare professionals from @inddoctorsasso even took time out of their day to encourage the people of the world to #stayathome!
Coronavirus knows no borders, but luckily neither does love.
