Distribution of clean drinking water in Al- Hasaka





Every day, the Kurdish Red Crescent center in the Abu Khashab camp, located east of Deir ez-Zor, receives about 120 IDPs. Each clinic in the center (internal medicine, pediatrics, and gynecology) sees around 40 cases daily, which range from regular check-ups to emergency care. They provide medical services and appropriate examinations for all age groups, along with distributing medications, while ambulance services are on standby 24/7 for any emergency situations.
s the drinking water crisis continues in the city of Al-Hasakah, and in coordination with the communes, the Kurdish Red Crescent is making ongoing efforts to distribute drinking water to residents. This comes after the WASH team confirmed the safety and quality of the water before distribution using a chlorine level testing device, ensuring the health of those benefiting from these services.
The concentration of large numbers of displaced people at key reception points increases the chances of spreading infectious diseases, such as diarrhea, scabies, smallpox, jaundice, worms, and leishmaniasis, leading to serious health risks and exacerbating suffering under these difficult conditions. Health education teams, in collaboration with the WASH team, distributed hygiene sacks and disseminated health guidelines. However, there is still an urgent need to provide hygiene tools and strengthen the sanitation system to ensure the health and safety of internally displaced persons (IDPs).
Given the importance of the water, sanitation, and hygiene sector during crises, the Kurdish Red Crescent WASH team conducted preliminary assessments of shelters for displaced people from #Aleppo and #Shahba areas. These assessments aimed to identify emergency interventions in humanitarian response within the water and sanitation sector. The measures included tests to monitor water quality, as well as identifying hygiene needs. Information and lists were also shared with partner organizations and the Office of Organisation Affairs, facilitating the rapid implementation of interventions to alleviate the suffering of internally displaced persons (IDPs).
