A humanitarian initiative to relief our people in the Syrian coast
Due to the painful events on the Syrian coast and the worsening humanitarian situation there as a result of an inadequate humanitarian and relief response, we at the Kurdish Red Crescent—initiated with the civil society in northeastern Syria and in coordination with the relevant authorities—have begun preparing a humanitarian aid convoy from the northern and eastern regions of Syria to our people on the Syrian coast, ensuring that this convoy reaches the affected areas as quickly as possible.
We extend our sincere thanks to all the civil parties, warehouses, and companies that donated to this initiative.
We wish peace for our people on the coast and throughout .
Formula Distribution Campaign for Displaced babies
With the support of the Japanese-Iraqi Medical Network (JIM-NET), the Kurdish Red Crescent (KRC) in the cities of Qamishlo, Hassakeh, Raqqa and Tabqa launched a campaign to distribute formula to babies up to one year old. This campaign mainly targeted displaced children from the areas of Aleppo and Al-Shahba, who are residing in temporary shelters. It aims to alleviate the suffering of displaced families and ensure that children receive the necessary nutrition under the difficult circumstances they face.
Distribution of clean drinking water in Al- Hasaka
With the frequent cut of the water supply to the city of Al-Hasakah from the Alouk station, and to alleviate the suffering of residents in obtaining clean drinking water, especially the displaced from the areas of Aleppo and Shahba and those residing in temporary shelters, the WASH team of the Kurdish Red Crescent, as part of the Medico Switzerland project, continues to distribute clean drinking water.
Recently, in coordination with the municipalities, the distribution targeted the shelters (Ahmad Al-Makhlaf School in Al-Salihiyah neighborhood – Dham Bouzo School in Al-Mufti neighborhood – Youth Housing in Al-Nashwa neighborhood – Aboud Lands School in Al-Nashwa neighborhood – Sulaymaniyah School in Sufeya area – Municipal Council in Sufeya area)
The women’s clinic project is launched under the slogan “Take care of your health, because you are a life”
The Kurdish Red Crescent Organization always supports women’s projects and provides medical services to them. This time, as the first project initiated by a complete team of women, it offers health services to women in the villages through a mobile women’s clinic and an ambulance.
On the occasion of March 8, International Women’s Day, and under the slogan “Take care of your health, you are the life,” the team of the project expresses their joy and readiness to provide the best service for women.
The importance of family support for children with special needs
Children with special needs require a deep understanding of their necessities and thoughtful guidance from their families. The family is not only the first environment in which a child grows but also the primary source of emotional support and care. This support enhances effective communication with the community and allows for specialized care for their mental and physical health through early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, contributing to better meeting their needs.
Jawad’s family was a role model in this matter, as they showed a deep understanding of their child’s needs and provided the necessary health and psychological care. By visiting the Kurdish Red Crescent prosthetics and rehabilitation center, the child received psychological support and physical therapy. Additionally, two lower limbs were manufactured for him, which significantly helped him integrate with his peers and manage his daily activities better.
