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.

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.

Clothing and shoes provided to displaced children
