Turkish Red Crescent assists 250 displaced families in Iraq for Ramadan

The Turkish Red Crescent extended a helping hand to 250 displaced families in Iraq, delivering essential food aid as part of its Ramadan assistance program.

Families at the Harsham Camp in Erbil received much-needed food supplies to ease their struggles during the sacred month of Ramadan.

Murat Tutanc, the head of the Bursa branch of the Turkish Red Crescent, underscored the organization's global outreach efforts during Ramadan.

"Turkish Red Crescent operates in many parts of the world during Ramadan. One hand is in Palestine, one is in Africa, and one is in Erbil," Tutanc stated. 

In addition to food aid, the humanitarian organization also distributed clothing to those in need at the camp.

Tutanc further mentioned a daily provision of 2,500 loaves of bread as part of their assistance efforts.

Eray Akkaya, acting president of the Turkish Red Crescent Iraq delegation, confirmed earlier that food aid would continue for 5,000 families across Iraq throughout Ramadan.

'Spreading compassion during this blessed month'

In a broader humanitarian initiative, the Turkish Red Crescent will deliver Ramadan food parcels to families in need in Syria on March 26 as part of World Orphans Day activities.

They will also share iftar with orphaned children and provide them with Eid clothes.

"As Turk Kizilay, we continue to spread compassion and unity during this blessed month," officials stated.
