We have plans to receive the winter but the possibilities are limited

The children of the center desperately need psychological support
Amina Issa revealed to Aso News Network about the psychological state of the children and talked about their bad condition. To fill the gap through coordination with some of the competent authorities to provide psychological support, and provide them with some games and the opening of classrooms and education seminars, they just want to return to their homes and this is very difficult at least now
about the difficulties facing the NGO office, she said, “We, the NGO office, have difficulties. It is the lack of permanent shelters because their stay here at school creates a big problem: stopping education.
“We have completed the distribution of all food, health and basic relief items, but the humanitarian situation of the displaced remains painful as there is a shortage of basic commodities and concerns about the availability of protection,” said Amina Issa, the administrative officer.
