Damascus, (SANA)- The Higher Committee for Relief discussed Thursday
means to deliver aid to the provinces of Hasaka, Raqqa and Aleppo,
in addition to applying new mechanisms to provide help to affected
citizens.
Minister of Social Affairs, Kinda al-Shammat, stressed that the
Committee has already delivered 20,000 food baskets, in addition to
health baskets and milk for kids, to the families affected by the
terrorist groups' acts in Aleppo.
She pointed out that certain alternatives are being studied to help
run aid convoys to Hasaka province after the armed terrorist groups
have blocked the delivery of aid to many areas in the province.
Al-Shammat added that the Committee will run aid convoys bound to
Raqqa after having inspected data on the categories in need for aid.
With the aim to make sure that the aid is delivered to worthy
beneficiaries, al-Shammat said, the Committee will apply new methods,
including a unified 'relief card'.
This method will be soon applied in Aleppo as the relief card will
include data that would help limit the number of displaced families
and their temporary residential places.
Minister of Social Affairs said the Ministry has already completed
collecting data for 100,000 families to be provided financial
assistance, which will be done in the framework of the agreement signed
between the Ministries of Social Affairs and Local Administration
and the UN High Commission for Refugees.
Director of Planning Department at the Local Administration Ministry,
Rafah Breidi, pointed out that the current number of shelter centers
where displaced families are staying is 846 spread in different areas.
She referred to a signed agreement between the Ministry and the
High Commission for Refugees and the International Organization for
Migration to prepare 350 new temporary residential centers by the
end of 2013.
