Your Support Helped Save We’am’s Life!
One minute, We’am was a healthy 3-year old girl – the next minute she could not breathe and became blue in the face. The little girl could not get enough oxygen and was in critical condition! She was rushed to the pediatric intensive care unit at Abeen Samaan Hospital where she was admitted. The medical staff administered lifesaving medical treatment including oxygen and placed her on a nebulizer to help her breathe. The next few hours were critical, but the medical team did not give up. After what seemed like an eternity to her parents, We’am finally began improving. She was released after four days and made a full recovery. We’am is followed up on a regular basis to make sure that she has no relapses and that her health continues to improve.
YOUR support gives countless children like We’am access to lifesaving medical care.
Together, we are saving lives and building hope.
Commemorating 10 Years of Service to the Syrian People
On January 7, 2022, UOSSM commemorated 10 years of service to the Syrian people, crossing the most impossible obstacles, in the most difficult of circumstances – surviving airstrikes and bombings while also losing some colleagues along the way.
It has been a long and painful path as we mark the 10th anniversary of service to the Syrian people living in the most dire circumstances. From bloodshed and injuries to malnutrition and medical needs, we have been there together, supporting our fellow Syrians, showing them that we care. We would like to thank all the selfless heroes that contributed and joined us on this path to help alleviate the unimaginable suffering of those affected by the Syrian war. Thank you to our donors and partners for your trust and support. We thank you for enabling us to continue saving lives together and building hope.
As we embark on our next 10 years of service, we will continue on this path of sacrifice and giving to provide services to those in need, ensuring that they are delivered with the utmost dignity and respect. Our commitment to provide the best quality medical care, emergency humanitarian relief and support to those affected by the Syrian crisis endures.

Helping Displaced Families this Winter
The winter season continues to bring harsh conditions to the millions of displaced Syrians living in displacement and refugee camps. A major winter storm system dumped several inches of snow on their fragile tents, causing them to collapse in the middle of the night and leaving many families homeless yet again. Although tents are meant to be temporary shelter, many of these families have been living in these dire conditions for 10 years. Watch this video to see how they suffered from that the recent winter storm.
But YOU can still help. With YOUR support, we can distribute even more winterization kits which include tents, blankets, food essentials and hygiene kits to displaced families in Syria and Jordan. Click here if you would like to support these families this winter!
Together, we can help alleviate their suffering.
Continuing to Respond to COVID-19 Pandemic
UOSSM continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic by supporting three COVID Community Treatment Centers (CCTCs) in northwest Syria – in the areas of Sarmada, Dana, and Armanaz.
The centers will provide services for treating mild to moderate cases of COVID-19 and aim to address the gap in response in northwest Syria (Idlib Governorate/Harem). The CCTCs will help reduce morbidity and mortality rates among internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities. The primary focus of these centers are the most vulnerable groups in conflict-affected areas.
