The gesture was part of RCS efforts to assist in tackling the problem of shortage of medicine and medical equipment that has hit most Iraqi hospitals and health centres.
According to the director of the RCS office in Iraq, Ali Ahmed bin Shmeil Al Ka'abi, the RCS was committed to providing for the needs of those affected by the ongoing incidents in various parts of the country to prevent the situation from further deterioration. This, he said, was being done by executing more relief programmes, aimed at meeting the essential requirements of the affected people.
