Erbil, Kurdistan-Iraq, Feb 7, - The Iraqi Red
Crescent in Erbil on Tuesday started proving aid
relief to people affected by the recent floods.
The floods, caused by heavy rainfall, killed one
citizen and led to the collapse of several bridges
and many homes rendering their residents homeless in
Erbil and surrounding villages.
Nozad Qader Khedr, Head of the Iraqi Red Crescent in
Erbil said “From the first day of floods we rushed
to provide emergency aid to the citizens whose homes
were flooded and we managed to rescue many families
since the first moments,”
“Today, we launched another campaign to provide aid
relief to the homeless in a number of Erbil
neighborhoods and the adjacent villages. We are
providing them with heaters, blankets and other
stuff after they lost their possessions in the
floods,” he added.
On Friday, Erbil witnessed heavy rainfall causing
massive damage and flooding that demolished more
than 700 houses and three bridges.
Kurdistan provincial government in Erbil decided to
compensate those affected in the floods.
