Distribution of basic necessities to 144 displaced families in Hasaka
Besides to the health services offered to displaced individuals from the Al-#Shahba and Tal #Rifaat. The #Kurdish_Red_Crescent Organization has started providing relief services. Today, after assessing the number of families residing in shelters in Al-Hasakah city , our teams distributed essential items such as diapers, baby formula, and hygiene kits to 144 displaced families.
Health risks and preventive measures at reception points
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).
Our medical teams continue to provide healthcare to displaced people
Since the early morning hours, our medical teams have continued to provide medical services to tens of thousands of displaced people from the areas of Tal Rifaat, al-Shahba and the countryside of Aleppo, who are present in the gathering places in the cities of Raqqa and Tabqa. The efforts of these teams reflect our steadfast commitment to meeting the needs of these displaced people and providing them with the necessary health care in light of the difficult circumstances they are living in.
WASH team conducts initial assessments to receive 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).

Significant challenges facing us due to the increasing number of displaced people
Kurdish Red Crescent teams are continuing their efforts to set up temporary tents to accommodate displaced people at reception points in Raqqa city. However, these efforts are facing significant challenges due to the increasing number of displaced individuals and the high level of need, making them insufficient to meet the demands of all.
