focuses on two components: Emergency relief When disasters strike, Medair's Global Emergency Response Teams deploy quickly to affected areas to bring life-saving relief in the form of emergency shelter and safe demolition, essential household items, safe drinking water, sanitation, and emergency health care. Building Back Better Medair's Building Back Better approach is used in the recovery phase to help affected communities safeguard against future disasters. This is achieved through rebuilding homes and infrastructure using strong building materials and disaster-resilient construction methods. In 2019, 100,055 people in affected areas received training in disaster risk reduction. Women and children Women and children are often said to be the most affected by emergencies[i]. To meet their unique needs, Medair states they provide support to vulnerable women and children in three ways: Nutrition Medair runs intensive malnutrition treatment programmes for young children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers as well as teaches communities how to prevent malnutrition in the future. In 2019, Medair treated 88,576 malnourished people. Health care Medair says they support local health clinics by training and supervising health clinic staff and providing them with essential medicines and supplies. They focus their support on primary health care, vaccinations, and safe childbirth. In 2019, there were 1,524,769 consultations at Medair-supported clinics. Community health Medair runs 'Care Groups' of trained women volunteers who regularly visit with women and their families in their community to promote good health, hygiene, and nutrition. In some communities with poor access to health clinics, Medair trains local health workers to visit ill children at home and treat common diseases. They also offer support services for trauma victims and women and girls affected by gender-based violence. Refugees and displaced people Medair has been assisting refugees affected by the Syrian crisis since 2012 and the Rohingya crisis since 2017, as well as the large numbers of displaced people as a result of instability in Iraq and South Sudan. According to their website, they support refugees and displaced people through: Emergency relief Medair supplies tents to displaced people and refugees to provide immediate protection as well as emergency household supplies and hygiene kits to safeguard against disease. Emergency health care Medair establishes emergency health clinics for displaced people and refugees in places like Iraq, Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, and in Kutupalong refugee camp in Bangladesh where the influx of people overwhelms the capacity of local health services.
