We have taken the initiative to make up to 200,000 masks at our sewing centers at the Cham Mushko and Kabartu IDP camps. The masks are being sewn by our committed team. The thousands of Yazidi survivors across 19 refugee camps have no protection against the deadly COVID-19 virus. This poses a huge epidemic risk. We are working hard to provide protection for these people in need as fast as we can. Our committed Yahad - Back to Life team started distributing the first masks fabricated at our sewing centers at certain IDP camps in northern Iraq last week. Our aim is to produce the 200,000 masks as soon as possible. Vital services such as pharmacies, food stores, the police and civic services were all provided with masks.
At the Cham Mushko camp, our team has cooperated with volunteers from the HIVI Group carried out a program of sterilization to help contain the spread of the virus.
At the Kadia camp, our team assisted in the distribution of vital hygiene material to the camps inhabitants, who are unable to leave their homes. The camp’s key workers were provided with masks, including police officers, shop workers, pharmacists, and camp management.
We will continue working hard to make sure all Yazidi survivors at the camps are kept safe during this global crisis.
