"1100 REFRIGERATOR FOR FAMILIES IN CIZRE"

Rojava Assistance and Solidarity Charity and Cizre Municipality

THE TARGET OF THIS PROJECT The curfew in Cizre, province Şırnak, which started on December 14, 2015 and lasted 79 days, has demolished or burnt down thousands of houses which are unavailable now. The exact word describing the current situation of Cizre is that it is a wreck now.

Over 50 thousand people have been forced to leave the city during the clashes in Cudi, Sur, Nur and Yasef districts of Cizre which had had a population of 120.000 before the clashes.

According to the damage assessment reports of Cizre Municipality and other Non-governmental Organizations, over 10.000 houses have been damaged, 1100 houses are completely unusable, and all the household items in these houses have become unusable as well. The number of the houses uninhabitable in the short term is about 3.000. As repairing of the less damaged houses and making them habitable will also take months, we encounter a serious problem now.

The infrastructure in the district have been significantly damaged. After two weeks working, the repair of rain water drainage and drinking water pipe system have been largely completed.

Most of the families continues their life in damaged or less damaged homes. The Charity maintains delivering food help to the families returning back to Cizre who have migrated during the clashes.

THE TARGET GROUP OF THE PROJECT

According to observations and investigations of Rojava Assistance and Solidarity Charity’s executives in Cizre with the victim families and authorities of Cizre Municipality, it is specified that 1100 families are in need of refrigerator and washing machine urgently.

In Cizre, summer is very hot; therefore we have decided to organize a campaign for supplying 1100 refrigerator immediately.

We expect that you will support our ‘1100 refrigerators’ campaign and will be in solidarity with the families who have lost all their household items and homes, so that they can protect their food and drink cool water during the hot summer days.
