Abstract

The Syrian civil war, which initiated in 2011, has been one of the most devastating conflicts of recent decades. Based on the World Health Organization and Handicap International 2017 report, about 3 million people are injured and living with disabilities in Syria, which about half of them have permanent disabilities including 86,000 amputees. More importantly, approximately 30,000 people are added to the disabled in Syria every month. In response, various international organizations and NGOs have developed initiatives and established programmes to increase access to rehabilitation services for people with disabilities in Syria and other regions where refugees live. However, further effective policies are needed to address the needs of disabled people in this Warn-torn country.

摘要

2011年发起的叙利亚内战一直是近几十年来最破坏性的冲突之一。根据世界卫生组织和国际残障人士协会2017年报告，叙利亚约有300万人受伤和残障，其中约有一半患有永久性残疾，包括86,000名截肢者。更重要的是，每月大约有30,000人被添加到叙利亚的残疾人中。作为回应，各种国际组织和非政府组织制定了倡议并制定了方案，以增加叙利亚和其他难民居住地区的残疾人获得康复服务的机会。但是，在这个饱受摧残的国家，需要采取进一步有效的政策来满足残疾人的需求。
