Syria/Latakia/Emergency centre

Latakia is the most important port city of Syria and has a population of around 300,000 inhabitants. Since the beginning of the conflict in 2011 it has not ceased to provide shelter to the thousands of people fleeing the front areas. Among the displaced people heading to Latakia, many come from Idlib, an area particularly affected by the conflict that was still disputed in 2019 between a dozen armed groups. Many of Idlib’s refugees are Christians.
Pro Terra Sancta has created an emergency center in the city of Latakia to meet the medical expenses that families can no longer bear due to the war drama. The Association distributes food and medicines and finances health care to more than 500 families.
In the center, special attention is paid to children and their education: Pro Terra Sancta regularly buys school supplies and distributes baby products such as diapers and powdered milk.
