The humanitarian situation in Syria has worsened, especially in Homs and Al Zabadani, with thousands fleeing to Bludan to escape fighting in the nearby city of Zabadani. Volunteers from the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) are working flat out to save lives, while ICRC and SARC teams rush vital aid to everyone affected by the violence.
