In November 1924, SCF granted a small amount for the Zouk-Mikael orphanage in Syria. From 1924 to 1940 grants were made to Syria which seem to have been connected to the settlement of Armenian (and from 1934, Assyrian) refugees. In 1948 SCF sent a medical team to Syria to set up infant welfare and feeding centres for Palestinian refugees living in camps at Wadi Raggad, Dera and Ezra, and Sabat (Damascus). The team worked alongside teams from Radda Barnen [Swedish SCF] and Red Barnet [Danish SCF]. By 1951 SCF was working in a refugee camp outside Aleppo. In 1953, SCF decided to relocate its teams in Syria and the Lebanon to Jordan. The work in Damascus was taken over by the Lutheran World Federation.
In 1974 SCF contributed to flood relief. |
