Thousands displaced in southern Syria – Security and Humanitarian Situation Remains Critical

Caritas Czech Republic has been operating in the Turkish-Syrian border region since 2013. In February 2023, a powerful earthquake struck Syria and Turkey. In cooperation with our local partners, we provided on-site assistance – ranging from essential material aid to hygiene kits and warm clothing. In December 2024, the government of Bashar al-Assad came to an end, leaving the country in a state of fragility. Caritas continues to closely monitor the humanitarian situation across Syria, including in areas where we are not currently operating directly. One such region is the southern province of Al-Suwayda, where both the security and humanitarian conditions have deteriorated significantly in recent weeks.

The civilian population is repeatedly displaced and faces a severe shortage of essential resources, including drinking water, food, medicine, and electricity. The area is entirely cut off from the outside world, with no safe refuge and no means of escape. In this environment, Caritas Czech Republic is working to assist. With its team on the ground in Gaza, the organisation delivers basic healthcare, psychosocial support, and humanitarian aid.

Every year on 20^th May we celebrate World Bee Day. The importance of bees for the ecosystem and the food industry has long been known. But these insects are also a source of work and livelihoods in developing regions. For example in refugee settlements in Zambia, where dozens of refugees have started to make a living from beekeeping thanks to Caritas Czech Republic.
