Al-Marra district is under continuous bombing, and there is a mass displacement from south Idleb and north Hama to North Idleb and Aleppo, The south and east of AlMara now are the first line of military operations between the conflicted parties.
, most of our staff were displaced to the north , now the situation is very bad in Almara and we expect it will be worse in next future, these circumstances out of our control had led us to suspend all nutrition and health activities in AlMara district.
