Over 150 tons of aid dispatched through KRG border to Rojava: Dindar Zebari -Kurdistan 24
he Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) Coordinator for International Advocacy, Dindar Zebari, on Tuesday told Kurdistan 24 that over 150 tons of aid have been dispatched to Rojava through the KRG’s border-crossing of Semelka by international aid groups to assist Rojava in its fight with the coronavirus pandemic.
In late April, Human Rights Watch (HRW) published a report titled, “Syria: Aid Restrictions Hinder Covid-19 Response,” in which it claimed the KRG had imposed restrictions on medical aid being supplied to Syrian Kurdistan (Rojava).
Following the report, Zebari denied the claims, citing several NGOs such as Doctors without Borders and International Medical Corps (IMC) that delivered aid to Rojava.
