On April 20, 2016, SARC’s teams came under fire while they were carrying out their duty in evacuating humanitarian cases from Madaya and Al-Zabadani in Rural Damascus.
However, SARC team continued on its mission and was able to evacuate the cases and deliver them to Damascus and Idleb city.
It is worth to mention that one of SARC’s cars was shot though the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) emblem is shown clearly on it.
The Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) calls on all parties to respect SARC emblem, to provide protection for SARC teams and enable them to carry out their humanitarian missions, which aimed to alleviate sufferings of the most vulnerable people as to its commitment to the principles of the International Movement of Red Cross & Red Crescent.
