Two trucks loaded of humanitarian aid in order to be delivered to people living in the southern Iraq city of Fallujah, departs Ankara following a sending off ceremony.
A third convoy of humanitarian aid donated by the Turkish Red Crescent Society (Kızılay) set out yesterday for the Turkey-Iraq border, the Anatolia news agency said.
Two trucks loaded with humanitarian aid to be delivered to people living in the southern Iraqi city of Fallujah departed Ankara following a sending-off ceremony.
The supplies, including tents, blankets, pillows, kitchen kits, food, drinking water, soap and various medicines, will be handed over to the Iraqi Red Crescent at the Habur border gate.
Deputy Director General of Kızılay Bülent Ay said the humanitarian aid package was valued at almost $350,000.
Ay did not elaborate when asked whether the reason for delivery taking place at the border gate was due to security concerns, Anatolia reported. A member of Kızılay died from injuries he received when the vehicle in which he was traveling was attacked by unidentified gunmen near the northern Iraqi city of Mosul in September.(turkishdailynews) |
