Due to the current security situation, we were forced to withdraw our international team from northern Syria. Our projects in al-Hol and Raqqa continue with our local staff.
Leaving our partner Heyva Sor behind was a difficult decision for us. But it is not clear how Assad's forces will behave towards foreign members of international organizations.
We will not give up!
The evacuation has coincided with our planned shift change, the next team is in Erbil ready for deployment. As soon as the situation permits, we can immediately assist in northern Syria with our team.
In the meantime, we support Heyva Sor financially, among other things, and are looking for ways to use our team in Iraq to care for refugees. We are in our thoughts and stand in solidarity with our courageous friends of Heyva Sor and our colleagues in northern Syria/Rojava, who, despite an uncertain future, do everything to help people.
Support our hospital, support our clinic, support our emergency aid.

Heat – More than just hot
Climate change will lead to an increase in prolonged heat waves. Yet heat is much more than just a weather phenomenon. It affects our social life, health, the environment, politics, and, very specifically, our operations in crisis areas – and thus becomes a matter of global justice.
Meet Our Team: Felix, Head of Finance
Behind every humanitarian response in a crisis zone is a team based in Berlin that ensures everything runs smoothly. One of them is our colleague Felix. He has been with CADUS for two years, and for over a year he has been leading our financial management as Head of Finance. In this interview, he explains how he and his team bridge the gap between the German tax office and the reality on the ground in a war zone.
“Operating in Sudan requires constant flexibility and adaptation.”
Years of conflict have pushed Sudan’s healthcare system to the brink of collapse. In this interview, our colleague Dr. Hisham Abdulaziz discusses the challenges of working in an unstable environment and explains why the resilience of local health care workers is the foundation of all humanitarian aid.
