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.

Thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder, is not only a health challenge but also a story of daily struggle for people who need regular blood transfusions and continuous care. Through this day, the importance of early detection, premarital genetic testing, and the importance of integrating patients into society are highlighted.
Together, we can support those affected morally and financially through donation boxes distributed in NES and by donating blood by going to the Kurdish Red Crescent Hospital for Oncology, Burns, and Thalassemia in the city of Qamishlo.
