Amid continued sectarian violence, Syrians face mass displacement

More than a year after the fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, many people living there are starting to rebuild their lives. However, sectarian violence has flared across Syria and according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, about 7 million people remain internally displaced. The violence has aggravated the humanitarian situation, as Dr Mohamed Alaa Ahmado, Programs Director at the NGO Mehad, tells FRANCE 24. Among the many challenges, he says, is the need for “strengthening primary healthcare services”, “food and non-food items” and “psychological support”.
