Thousands receive clean water in Al-Shahba camps.
The Kurdish Red Crescent, with the support and cooperation of the Area Metropolitana de Barcelona (AMB) and Mezzaluna Rossa Kurdistan Italia Onlus, has launched an important initiative to construct two wells equipped with solar energy systems. This project aims to provide sustainable solutions for accessing clean drinking water near the Serdem and Berxdan camps and medical points in the Shahba region, which is experiencing a massive influx of displaced persons, particularly from Afrin, due to the dire humanitarian conditions faced by the population.
The residents of Shahba face numerous challenges, as the area has been affected by various health and environmental crises, ranging from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic to the devastating earthquake that struck northern and western Syria last year. Therefore, the provision of clean drinking water is a pressing necessity for the health of the local community and is a significant step towards enhancing essential infrastructure and improving the daily living conditions for the displaced, as well as reducing reliance on non-renewable resources through the use of solar energy systems.
