the Primary Health Care Center in Al-Shadada continues to provide services
In light of the crises affecting the city of Al-Hasakah, the efforts of the Kurdish Red Crescent stand out as a significant example of important humanitarian work. The organization is striving to provide clean drinking water to the residents in collaboration with Medico Switzerland, in response to the current situation. These efforts come at a critical time, as the city is experiencing a severe water shortage, which negatively impacts public health and exacerbates living conditions due to the lack of water from the Alouk station. These ongoing campaigns highlight the importance of community cooperation and coordination among communes and humanitarian organizations to address urgent challenges
The Kurdish Red Crescent, with the support and cooperation of the Area Metropolitana de Barcelona (AMB) and Mezzaluna Rossa Kurdistan Italia Onlus, has launched an important initiative to construct two wells equipped with solar energy systems. This project aims to provide sustainable solutions for accessing clean drinking water near the Serdem and Berxdan camps and medical points in the Shahba region, which is experiencing a massive influx of displaced persons, particularly from Afrin, due to the dire humanitarian conditions faced by the population.
The residents of Shahba face numerous challenges, as the area has been affected by various health and environmental crises, ranging from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic to the devastating earthquake that struck northern and western Syria last year. Therefore, the provision of clean drinking water is a pressing necessity for the health of the local community and is a significant step towards enhancing essential infrastructure and improving the daily living conditions for the displaced, as well as reducing reliance on non-renewable resources through the use of solar energy systems.
After completing the project to extend and construct sewage lines in Barkhdan camp.
The same project continues in Sardam camp as well, where the old lines were constructed since the beginning of the camp establishment during the displacement of the people of Afrin to it, and these old lines suffered from drainage problems, which had a negative impact on public health in the camp.
Therefore, the project will provide sewage lines in the camp,with 2,700 meters long/ 10 inches instead of 4 inches, and the project will services about 4,000 people in Sardam camp.
Implementation of the same project has previously begun in Aleppo city in Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood, where some lines have been completed and some are ongoing.
In order to maintain public safety and prevent the spread of epidemics and diseases, as well as to protect the environment, the Kurdish Red Crescent’s WASH sector , in cooperation with donors and local institutions, is following up the project of sorting medical waste and intact disposal of it through a specialized and trained team by establishing medical waste areas in several cities and camps in northern and eastern Syria, where medical waste is collected from hospitals and health centers, and those in camps, and transporting it to medical waste areas for disposal in several ways, burning, crushing, and landfilling, depending on the type of these materials, to ensure public safety and preserve the environment.
