Aleppo Civil Defense

The Aleppo Civil Defense, also known as the "White Helmets," is a volunteer organization operating in Syria. It focuses on search and rescue efforts to save civilians caught in conflict zones, especially after bombings and airstrikes. They work in dangerous environments, providing emergency medical aid, evacuating injured people, and clearing debris to prevent further casualties. Their goal is to protect civilians and reduce the humanitarian impact of the ongoing conflict, often risking their lives to reach those in danger. The organization is neutral, impartial, and dedicated to saving lives amid chaos and destruction.
