Türkiye has launched a humanitarian aid campaign to deliver 30,000 food parcels to families living in camps across northern Syria's Operation Euphrates Shield zone, with each parcel including a letter from President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan expressing solidarity and support.
The initiative is being carried out by the General Directorate of Foundations under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in cooperation with the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD).
The first shipment of 2,000 food parcels has already departed for AFAD warehouses in Hatay, southern Türkiye, close to the Syrian border. Authorities plan to deliver an additional 10,000 parcels to AFAD's warehouses in Çobanbey, Kilis, and 18,000 parcels to Hatay by the end of July.
The aid consists of staple food items with a long shelf life, including flour, tomato paste, sunflower oil, dried beans, pasta, red lentils, vermicelli, rice, tahini halva and raisins. Officials expect all 30,000 parcels to reach their destinations by the end of the month.
In addition to food supplies, each parcel contains a letter from Erdoğan highlighting Türkiye's continued support for the Syrian people.
