Turkish NGO distributes winter aid in Syria
A Turkish aid group distributed winter clothing to children in Syria at border camps across from Turkey's southern Kilis province, according to AA.

The Istanbul-based Humanitarian Relief Foundation (İHH) handed out 20,000 pairs of boots, 22,000 pairs of slippers and 22,000 sweaters as part of its global winter aid campaign, "A Warm Kindness."

The aid was given to 44,000 Syrian children in Aleppo's al-Bab, Jarablus and Azaz districts. Speaking to Anadolu Agency (AA), Hasan Aksoy, an İHH coordinator in Syria, said the harsh winter mostly affects children.

At least 220 tents were destroyed, and 550 tents were flooded. No casualties were reported as a result of the flooding, but livestock reportedly perished. In September, the İHH also sent over 20 trucks loaded with humanitarian aid to northwestern Syria's Idlib.
