Barzani Charity Warns of the Serious Humanitarian Situation of Displaced Persons from Ashrafiya and Sheikh Maqsoud

ARK News.. Barzani Charity has warned of the severe humanitarian situation facing people displaced by the fighting in Aleppo, stressing the urgent need for psychological and medical support for displaced families in shelters, in addition to daily humanitarian assistance for those fleeing the fighting. The foundation highlighted the necessity of providing medical aid and medicines, revealing the scale of suffering among the displaced population.

Barzani Charity announced that it has provided 4,500 food baskets to the displaced, and that mobile nursing teams, along with five medical teams, have been deployed to camps and displacement sites. These teams are delivering healthcare services and supporting health centers in villages surrounding Aleppo city to cope with the large numbers of displaced people.

The foundation added that while the assistance delivered to the displaced in northern Aleppo is essential, it continues its efforts to provide psychological support to children displaced from Aleppo areas.

According to information published by Barzani Charity regarding its assistance in Aleppo, the support included the provision of essential food supplies, basic living items, and other necessities for families.

Barzani Charity stated that more than 22,000 families—around 110,000 people—were displaced within just a few hours to the city of Afrin, creating an urgent need for large-scale shelter facilities.

The foundation warned of a looming humanitarian catastrophe as winter cold waves continue, accompanied by rainfall and snowfall in mountainous areas, negatively affecting the health of the displaced, especially women, children, and the elderly
.
In addition, Barzani Charity pointed to the risk of disease outbreaks among displaced people in camps, noting that the psychological conditions of women and children have deteriorated alarmingly, with an urgent need for immediate psychosocial support.

Few days ago, Barzani Charity launched emergency appeals for donations and humanitarian aid for those displaced by the Syrian Arab Army’s attack on Aleppo, which has further worsened the situation amid shortages of food supplies and the pressing need to provide essential items for residents displaced from the Ashrafiya and Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhoods.
