Children are our main goal in all our projects. So, we did our best to feature the International Children’s Day. Therefore, we had a research,  at the Office of Protection in cooperation with the Committee  of the Protection of children  of  North-East Syria,  on the situation of children in the “Washukani” displaced camp, where people got displaced from the city of Sri Kanye more than a year ago.  It was our pleasure to   open a “child-friendly space”  focusing on children more and following up on their mental health   targeting pre-school ages.

 This area named after “Mohammed” and “Sarah” to embody  all children affected by  the war.  Children of the camp, and some KRC members besides Committee for the Protection of the Child, participated this event which  included a series of amusement activities in which the children expressed their joy and gratitude.

Second anniversary of the Qamishlo bombing

/0 Comments/in /by

We recently attended the two-year commemoration of the 2016 Qamishlo bomb attack.
Hundreds of people gathered at the site of the bombing to honour loved ones killed in the 27/07/16 attack by Daesh terrorists. As you can see in the photos, portraits of the martyrs adorned the surrounding buildings as people laid flowers and lit candles in memory of their lost family and friends.
The attack killed over 50 people and left almost 200 injured, with many dozens more trapped under rubble. The terrorists used a truck rigged with a bomb to set off a massive explosion in this busy area of the city. Within minutes of the first explosion, another attacker, riding a motorcycle, detonated a second bomb. The intent was clearly to kill and wound those coming to the aid of people caught by the first bomb.
The Kurdish Red Crescent was among many organisations who came to the aid of people who were injured and trapped by the explosions. We were grateful to be able to attend the commemoration to stand in solidarity with everyone and pay our respects.
