Distribution of food baskets to the displaced

In aim of continuing providing humanitarian aid and strengthening solidarity with communities affected by displacement, the Kurdish Red Crescent, in collaboration with Volkshilfe organization, carried out a support campaign in June within “Improved Living and Health Conditions” project. The campaign targeted displaced people from Afrin in the cities of Qamishlo, Derik, Hasaka, Raqqa, and Tabqa.

 

Providing water wells with solar energy in Qamishlo countryside

Within the second phase of the “Solar Energy for NES 2” project with Medico International, the Kurdish Red Crescent Organization installed the solar panels for drinking water wells in the villages of Najmouk, Girbawi, and Harm Rash. These villages had long suffered from the lack of basic electricity, making it extremely difficult for residents to access water.

 

This step marks a positive turning point in the daily lives of the residents. In addition to solving the water issue, the project has clear environmental and economic benefits by relying on renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources. The Work is still ongoing on the fourth well in the village of Kharab Kurti.

Continuing civil defense and first aid training using advanced equipment and machinery

As community members continue to join civil defense and first aid training, both basic and advanced, with the aim of mitigating risks during disasters and crises and supporting emergency response and medical care within the “Medico international” project, the training teams of the Kurdish Red Crescent strive to facilitate the delivery of information through the use of advanced equipment and tools in training operations.
“You can also join the training by contacting the commune.”

Innovative and tailored initiatives to support patients with the aim of integrating them into society

 

As a new step added to the set of activities and services provided within the Oncology, Burns, and Thalassemia Hospital, work is currently underway on a set of innovative initiatives specifically designed to support young and adolescent patients. These initiatives aim to integrate them into society through empowerment and learning new skills, including nursing courses, English language courses, psychological support activities, and more, while they are undergoing treatment inside the hospital.

Providing materials and laboratory reagents for the main water laboratories in Hasakah, Qamishli, Raqqa, and Tabqa.

As a continuation of the activity to support water laboratories through the partnership with medico international Schweiz, which comes within the context of continuous efforts to improve the quality of water monitoring services by providing the necessary support to the water laboratories affiliated with the General Directorate of Water in North and East Syria, the Kurdish Red Crescent organization delivered laboratory materials and reagents to the main water laboratories in (Hasaka – Qamishli – Raqqa – Tabqa) with the aim of developing the skills of technical staff and raising the efficiency of the laboratories to ensure that the necessary analyses are conducted with greater accuracy and effectiveness.

Providing solar-powered panels for the IDPs

 

A series of living challenges face the IDPs from Afrin and Shahba in shelters, including the absence of electricity in the majority of the centers, which constitutes daily suffering for them. Through an emergency plan, 1700 small solar panels were distributed in Qamishlo, Hasakah, Tirbespiye, Amuda, and Jal Agha. This initiative, despite its simplicity compared to the scale of needs, enables families to benefit from it, even partially, in providing night lighting or charging some small devices.

Installating two solar energy systems in two schools in the city of Qamishlo

Continuing with the Solardarity fundraising campaign to support and develop solar energy as an alternative energy source in NES, which is being implemented with the support of medico international/Solar energy for North-East Syria 2, the Kurdish Red Crescent Organization installed two solar energy systems in two secondary and preparatory schools in the city of Qamishli.
The ongoing crisis due to the weak electricity infrastructure has affected several sectors, including the educational sector, and by installing solar energy, students can be provided with a more stable and stimulating learning experience.

Distributing health kits and baby milk for IDPs

Within the emergency plan announced by the Kurdish Red Crescent Organization to support the displaced people from the countryside of Aleppo, Afrin, and Shahba, and with the support of the “waldensian church” organization, hygiene kits and formula milk for children aged from one month to one year were provided to the displaced within the shelters in Raqqa, Tabqa, Hasakah, and Qamishlo.

Second humanitarian convoy to the Syrian coast

The second humanitarian convoy has launched as part of the grassroots initiative in northern and eastern Syria to assist our people in the Syrian coast, which includes 14,000 baskets, 12,000 of which are food baskes and 2,000 are hygiene baskets, provided by the people of northeastern Syria, the Women’s Initiative, the Mesopotamia Association, and the Kurdish Red Crescent.
