Amnesty International warned on Thursday of a looming health crisis in northwest Syria due to a drop in international assistance to hospitals and other medical facilities, where doctors and medical teams are struggling to operate with low resources.
“This past year’s massive funding drop has immediately translated into the closure of hospitals and vital services, and has left millions of Syrians struggling to access medication and other essential health care,” said Lynn Maalouf, Amnesty International's Deputy Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa.
