For many years, PWH has been sending containers full of urgently needed medical equipment and supplies into ‘Syria to support PWH partners while the world has lookied away as war raged for more than a decade.  This earthquake compounds their suffering and PWH must act to help them.  The Rahma Hospital where PWH ships to is in the earthquake zone and supplies are desperately needed according to the press release.  PWH will be increasing its support and expediting an additional container soon.  PWH staff and volunteers are already pulling supplies and adjusting what is being sent to ensure those on the ground have what they need at this point.  PWH is also working to send medical equipment and supplies to Turkey,.

PWH is doubling down its efforts since it also has commitments to Ukraine and Ethopia.
