The services of the KRC continue in remote areas of Tabqa.
Access to remote and rural areas, especially those that have faced many crises, including a lack of medical services due to their distance from city centers, is one of the biggest challenges in providing healthcare.
Since 2016, the Kurdish Red Crescent has been providing services to these areas as part of its priorities and goals. Hundreds of remote villages have been targeted and provided with primary healthcare services, as well as services for women and children, through mobile clinics equipped with ambulances and medical teams. This is done through ongoing programs, and one of the targeted areas is the rural area of Tabqa. The mobile clinic team, currently supported by Medicos International Switzerland, visits several villages that are approximately 65 km away from the city center, continuing to provide the care that the residents in these areas have been lacking.

Remnants of war usually cause death among civilians, with the majority of the victems being children that are unaware of their danger, and one of these victems was the 10 years old Baran Mazen Qary, he fled along with his family from Kobani to their village “Yaraman” on Feb 18th 2023, escaping the aftermath of the earthquake that hit the area.
But Baran didn’t know that something terrible was going to happen while he was playing with his friends when they’ve found a cluster bomb that was left by ISIS, the bomb exploded resulting in Barans leg, and left arm being amputated, along with many wounds that almost took his life.
On Barans path of recovery, he is attending KRC’s prosthetic limbs center which is located in Qamishlo, where he was given physical therapy and psychological counseling for days.
So that Baran can recover what he lost because of that explosion,and to go back to playing with his friends again, and continue to live his childhood that he almost lost forever.
