It spent two days in the city of Derik, where the team visited shelters housing displaced people and assessed the health conditions and medical needs of the wounded.

During this period, the doctors visited health centres and shelters for displaced people, as well as the Kurdish Red Crescent centre and the Executive Council of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria in the Jazira Region, providing treatment to displaced patients.

The medical team was honoured in appreciation of its humanitarian commitment and its active role in delivering medical services during a week of continuous work in support of the people of Rojava.

The delegation is scheduled to return to the Kurdistan Region on Saturday, 7 February 2025, having completed its mission and following the stabilisation of the situation in Western Kurdistan after the agreement reached between the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Syrian Interim Government.
