More than two years of fighting have had a major impact on every aspect of life in Syria. Untold numbers of people are dead, disabled, missing, detained or separated from their families. Fighting has hampered health care, water supply and rubbish collection. Schools, hospitals and other public facilities have been destroyed. Together, the ICRC and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent are providing food, water and health care.
