I will be visiting a refugee camp as part of a medical and humanitarian aid mission in the south west of Turkey, near to the Syrian border.

As a group of medics, nurses and other aid workers we aim to set up a small clinic to provide basic healthcare needs to the camp of around 7000 people. We also aim to install some basic sanitation projects as well as providing as many food packs as possible.

These are the most desperate of people, having been forced from their homes in the last 6 years and been left in what is essentially a campsite, with no realistic prospect of being rehoused. They have no access to jobs and hence rely almost entirely on donations to survive. There is a desperate shortage of food, medicines and medical staff.

I will be self funding my own travel, food and accommodation requirements, and also purchasing some supplies.

Your donations will be used by myself and the wider group for purchasing essential medical equipment, antibiotics and other medications, food packages and whatever other supplies they may be short of on the ground.

I will be travelling with the United Aid Network, a non profit organisation who have experience in this work (check their facebook page for pictures and info of their recent missions)

Please dig deeply and give whatever you can to help those who are desperately in need.

Thank you

Haroon
