Providing milk to babies during humanitarian crises is an important issue that requires special attention, as it has a direct impact on the health and development of children. The dire conditions faced by displaced people negatively affect the ability of mothers to provide for their children’s basic nutritional needs. In this regard, the Kurdish Red Crescent began distributing baby milk to displaced families from Al-Shahba and Aleppo within the city of Raqqa and Tabqa, and later to include all other cities in northern and eastern Syria.
