Syria Humanitarian Fund provides health services for families
It is early morning when Nahed and her son Louai arrive at the health centre in Breiqa village, west of Quneitra Governorate in Syria. “We walked for an hour to reach the clinic,” says Nahed.
The pregnant mother and her son, who is 10 years old, came on foot from their home village, Rasem Al-Halabi, where there are no health facilities.
