Mr. Nasser Alheraki:

I thank the Deputy for the question about Covid. It is really important. In Syria, we are suffering from multiple crises. The priorities have been around attacks and the conflict inside Syria and the winter crisis, and then Covid came at the end. The vulnerable families we serve would not think of Covid or that crisis but we think of the health workers who need support, the humanitarian workers who need to deliver efficient assistance for them. Our teams are going door to door visiting the vulnerable people to make assessments and ensure the efficiency of the delivery of the assistance. For those people, vaccination should be a priority. Elderly people are passing away because they do not have easy access to health facilities to support them and to prevent the virus spreading out more across Syria. Vaccination should be a priority for the humanitarian workers and my colleagues who work in health facilities who we meet day to day. It is another part of the crisis facing the Syrian people which they are not aware of. We need support to deal with vaccination, and to prioritise it.
