The Internal Authority of Al-Jazira Region presented a thanks Shield to the Kurdish Red Crescent for the health and humanitarian services it provides in the area, especially for the efforts made in implementing a civil defense and first aid training for the community, which the members of the authority also participated in.
With the support of Medico International and in cooperation with several local entities, the Kurdish Red Crescent continues its extensive campaign to provide training courses in civil defense and first aid in order to support emergency response and medical care and meet the needs of people affected by natural disasters in the regions of North and East Syria, bringing the number of people undergoing first aid trainings to 3987 trainees and 1068 trainees through civil defense trainings.
The campaign, which aims to empower more than 10,000 people in the field of basic life support, planning and preparation in advance to deal with natural disasters and crises, mitigate their effects, assist in search and rescue operations, and provide necessary medical assistance at critical moments, with the aim of reducing human and material losses, will continue until the end of October 2025
As part of a charitable campaign aimed to providing support for children with thalassemia, Kurdish Youth Group in Vancouver, Canada, provided a set of necessary toys and medicines to the Kurdish Red Crescent’s Oncology, Burns and Thalassemia Hospital in Qamishli. This event is a true embodiment of the values of giving and solidarity, especially for the most needy segment of society, such as children with chronic diseases such as thalassemia. Given the health and psychological challenges they face on a daily basis, providing toys and medicines to these children is a source of comfort in their difficult times, and contributes to improving their health and psychological condition.
The displacements from Lebanon to the Shahba areas highlight new suffering in addition to the previous displacement suffering. Many IDPs have witnessed the same scenario, where they were previously forced to flee the city of Afrin as a result of the Turkish aggression, only to find themselves later in camps in cities such as Aleppo or Lebanon, looking for a safe life for their families away from conflicts and wars. In light of the current situation, the Shahba areas are once again opening their doors to receive people fleeing the ongoing conflict in Lebanon, where the displaced face a painful reality, with some living in camps with former displaced families, while others suffer from the lack of any shelter or support. In this context, the initiatives of the Kurdish Red Crescent are the embodiment of ongoing humanitarian work, where basic supplies such as sponges, blankets and kitchen baskets were distributed to displaced families in Sardam camp, contributing to alleviating their suffering and reflecting the spirit of social solidarity.
