Ambulance System

Our ambulance teams were immediately mobalized as first responders moments after the first earthquake. They assisted in relieving the injured and transferring cases between hospitals to receive appropriate treatment. This ensured that they were able to relieve pressure off any particular location and distribute it between centers. Their areas of work included (the areas of Euphrates Shield, Olive Branch and Idlib).
