ERBIL — The Joint Crisis Coordination Center (JCC) of the Kurdistan Regional Government’s Ministry of Interior, in partnership with the Barzani Charity Foundation, has delivered emergency aid to residents affected by recent heavy rains in Kirkuk.

On Monday, the JCC and local authorities assessed the impact of the flooding, which damaged around 15 homes in the Shuraw neighborhood. Relief items, including carpets, mattresses, blankets, food baskets, cleaning supplies, and children’s essentials, were distributed to affected families.

The KRG’s Ministry of Interior, through the JCC, has also established five crisis and disaster response warehouses across the Kurdistan Region, aimed at ensuring rapid response and essential aid distribution during emergencies.

Iraq has been hit by a wave of intense rainfall, causing flash floods across multiple regions, including Kirkuk, where the flooding tragically claimed the life of one woman.
