The Kurdish Red Crescent concluded a month filled with activities and awareness campaigns on early breast cancer detection. These included a variety of events such as: a sports marathon in collaboration with the Body Bicycle team and the Hez organization; awareness lectures in coordination with the Health Authority and the Women’s Foundation in Hasakah, Qamishli, and Derik; and sessions held at all Red Crescent points and communes in North and East Syria.
The Kurdish Red Crescent’s oncology hospital played a major role in receiving a large number of women for early screening, reflecting the community’s confidence in the efforts being made.
During the month, healthcare staff were honored in recognition of their dedication and commitment to raising awareness and encouraging women to get screened.
Despite the conclusion of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, work continues throughout the year at the oncology hospital, which has provided treatment to 210 women with breast cancer to date—because hope never ends, and the giving continues.

Securing medicines and doses for cancer patients in Sweida..

/in , , , , /by

Cancer patients in Sweida face life-threatening difficulties. Due to the bloody events and the siege imposed on the region, they cannot travel to Damascus or any centers outside Sweida to continue their treatment or receive their medication doses at the few specialized centers. This is also due to the shortage of medicines inside Sweida due to the siege. We at the Kurdish Red Crescent have coordinated with several organizations inside and outside Sweida to secure the necessary medicines, chemotherapy doses, and healthcare for this group, considered the most affected by the violence and siege. We wish them a speedy recovery.

In response to the needs of local residents, and in coordination with the Directorate of Water and the Municipality of Qamishlo, the Kurdish Red Crescent, with the support of Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona (AMB), implemented the “Emergency Water Response” project.

As part of this initiative, two wells were drilled in the neighborhoods of (Alaya and Hilaliya) and equipped with submersible pumps powered by solar energy.

Each well was connected to a main water tank with a capacity of 5,000 liters, which in turn supplies a distribution system consisting of three secondary tanks (2,000 liters each) strategically placed within the targeted neighborhoods. This setup ensures broader access to safe water for the largest possible number of residents.

The project also included specialized training sessions for commune members and the Water Department staff on:

* Protecting solar power systems and maintaining wells.

* Operating the wells seasonally.

* Water chlorination techniques using chlorine tablets.

This project comes as a direct response to the growing need for safe and reliable water sources for the city’s population.
