“We stand united in response to the devastating floods that struck Chamchamal over the past day. This is a natural disaster affecting our people, and our communities,” Dr. Yara also added “On behalf of His Excellency Areen Barzani, the Founder of the Kurdistan Foundation, we affirm our commitment to be here, present and active, for as long as needed.”
Field teams continue to work alongside the JCC and local authorities to assess needs, deliver aid, and assist displaced families. Volunteer groups have also been mobilized to support ongoing response activities, ensuring timely and effective assistance for residents.
