The President of Barzani Charity Foundation (BCF) presented detailed data and information on the distribution of humanitarian assistance in Rojava Kurdistan, while expressing his gratitude to donors and to all the people of Kurdistan.
On Tuesday, 27 January 2026, during a media conference held in Qamishlo, Musa Ahmad, President of Barzani Charity Foundation, shared statistics and information regarding the delivery of humanitarian aid to Rojava Kurdistan.
At the beginning of his remarks, the President stated that, based on the directives of President Barzani, Barzani Charity Foundation proudly arrived in Qamishlo with a very large aid convoy and has since been providing daily services and various forms of assistance to the people of Rojava. He noted that, to date:
165 truckloads of humanitarian aid have arrived.
9,180 families, totaling 57,955 individuals, have benefited from the assistance.
22 types of household items have been distributed.
Aid has been distributed in 108 schools.
Fuel has been supplied to 8 mosques.
The distribution of hot meals is ongoing, and today BCF teams are distributing hot meals in Derik and Amuda.
So far, 9,930 hot meals have been distributed across 15 schools and 3 mosques.
Medical teams from Barzani Charity Foundation have visited 34 schools, providing medical treatment and services to 2,749 people.
289 job opportunities have been created.
The number of volunteers supporting BCF teams during aid distribution continues to increase on a daily basis.
116 shelters and displacement sites have been visited.
He highlighted that schools and mosques in cities across Rojava Kurdistan are currently hosting large numbers of displaced families. He also explained that some essential daily needs for displaced people items not included in the aid packages are being purchased locally from Rojava markets.
Musa Ahmad expressed his appreciation for the extraordinary efforts of BCF staff, stating that, “As witnessed by the public and the media, our staff work more than 16 hours a day among displaced families.”
He also addressed one of the major challenges facing aid distribution, which is the organization and packaging of assistance. He emphasized that aid-collecting institutions must carefully prepare and package assistance while prioritizing urgent and essential needs. He stated clearly:
“Our goal is transparency in humanitarian work.”
He added that aid distribution is being carried out in full coordination with the Kurdish Red Crescent, and includes items such as tents, fuel, heaters, food, mattresses, blankets, hygiene and sanitation kits, new clothing, cooking equipment, kitchen sets, and even children’s toys, recognizing their importance in bringing comfort to children affected psychologically by displacement.
The President reaffirmed that Barzani Charity Foundation has extensive experience in serving more than two million displaced people in camps. However, in Rojava Kurdistan, displaced families are not living in camps, and large trucks cannot access narrow streets. As a result, BCF teams unload aid and redistribute it using smaller vehicles to reach neighborhoods, schools, and mosques.
Another challenge he highlighted is the limited capacity of border crossings, which restricts aid trucks to carrying no more than 12 tons per truck.
In his concluding remarks, Musa Ahmad emphasized that Barzani Charity Foundation is making continuous efforts to extend humanitarian assistance to Kobane and other cities and villages across Rojava Kurdistan.
He also expressed his sincere gratitude to media organizations for their ongoing support, as well as to the Kurdish Red Crescent staff and volunteers who continue to work alongside BCF teams in these humanitarian efforts.
Finally, he noted that the sixth aid convoy, consisting of 45 trucks, was dispatched by Barzani Charity Foundation to Rojava Kurdistan on 26 January 2026, further increasing both the volume of assistance and the number of beneficiaries.
