The vans that bring health and hope to refugees in Turkey

Cevahir fled the war in Syria and works from dusk till dawn to provide for her three children. Selma is a nurse whose passion is to help people. In Turkey, home to 4 million refugees, the paths of these two strong women crossed.

Selma is part of UNFPA’s mobile teams. Thanks to EU humanitarian funding, she brings medical services to refugees like Cevahir, who live in remote areas and have neither time nor money to go see a doctor.
