White Helmets accuse WHO of failing to protect Syrians from coronavirus threat
After nine years of war, Syria is unequipped to face an influx of coronavirus cases

The White Helmets have accused the World Health Organization of failing to help Syria’s most vulnerable people from the coronavirus pandemic as doctors brace themselves for catastrophe.

The rebel-held areas of north-west Syria have been battered by nine years of conflict, and hold millions of people displaced by the war.

The White Helmets, best known for rescuing civilians from buildings bombed by the Syrian regime or its Russian backers, have turned their focus to preparing the country for a predicted tsunami of coronavirus cases.

“I feel disappointed and frustrated,” Raed Al Saleh, director of the White Helmets, told the Daily Telegraph.
