As part of its ongoing humanitarian commitment to alleviating the suffering of affected and displaced families, the DAN Foundation for Relief and Development, in partnership with War Child\ WC organization, has successfully implemented a comprehensive emergency response campaign targeting collective shelters in the towns of Amuda and Qamishli in Al-Hasakah Governorate.
The foundation ensured the provision of an integrated support package to meet the basic needs of displaced families, which included:
Ready-to-Eat Food Baskets (470 baskets)
A total of 470 ready-to-eat (RTE) food baskets were distributed to displaced families in the shelters, aiming to meet their essential food needs amidst the difficult living conditions and food insecurity these families face.
The intervention was not limited to the distribution of relief items alone; it was accompanied by an integrated program of recreational activities and psychological support, reflecting the foundation’s comprehensive approach to humanitarian action.
Recreational PSS activities were organized for children, benefiting 470 children residing in the shelters. These sessions aimed to alleviate the psychological stress resulting from displacement and provide a safe space for children to express their feelings through purposeful recreational activities.
Furthermore, the foundation’s psychosocial support team provided Psychological First Aid (PFA) services to 470 beneficiaries, including both children and adults. This involved offering immediate emotional support, active listening to the most affected cases, and identifying urgent psychological needs for potential referral to specialized services when necessary.
In addition to food assistance and psychological sessions, Cash for Protection/ CfP was provided to over 100 of the most vulnerable families. This support included the provision of winter supplies, personal hygiene items, and medical services, whether treatments or medical equipment, along with other basic needs, all distributed based on a thorough needs assessment.

This intervention reflects the commitment of the “DAN Foundation” to providing a comprehensive humanitarian response that addresses both material and psychological needs, stemming from its vision aimed at enhancing human dignity and ensuring a safer and more stable life for affected families.
