The second cohort from the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management in Syria has begun a specialized training program in the Qatari capital, according to a statement published today on Lekhwiya’s official account on platform X.
In its post, Lekhwiya (Qatar Internal Security Force) said it received the Syrian participants as they launched an intensive program supervised by instructors from the Qatar International Search and Rescue Group, noting that the sessions are designed to bolster the Syrian emergency team’s preparedness for disasters and humanitarian crises.
Lekhwiya stated that the training aims to “enhance the readiness of the Syrian team to handle disasters and humanitarian emergencies efficiently, and strengthen its capacity for effective emergency response.”
The program builds on cooperation developed earlier this year, when the Syrian Civil Defense Organization (White Helmets) signed a partnership and training agreement with Lekhwiya on January 20. The earlier agreement covers specialized instruction in disaster management and provides support equipment for search-and-rescue operations.
