White Helmets

The White Helmets, officially known as the Syria Civil Defence, are a volunteer organization operating in Syria and Turkey. They provide emergency response services, such as rescuing people trapped in bombed buildings, after airstrikes or chemical attacks. Composed of local civilians trained in rescue techniques, they work in conflict zones to save lives and provide medical aid amid dangerous conditions. Their efforts focus on humanitarian aid and building community resilience during the ongoing Syrian conflict, often risking their own safety to help others in crises.
