— The government of South Korea has made an additional donation worth $300,000 to help the large population of Iraqi IDPs and Syrian refugees taking shelter in Kurdistan Region.

Kurdistan Region’s Interior Minister Rebar Ahmad said he signed a protocol for the donation with Korean Consul General CHOI Kwang-Jin on Monday.

“This is an in-kind donation that includes winterized items worth $300k for IDPs and refugees in the Kurdistan Region,” Ahmad wrote on Twitter.

“Thank you Korea,” he added to appreciate the long-standing flow of humanitarian aid by the Seul government to the Kurdish people.

The donation will be spent for winter items which the Korean consulate general and Kurdistan’s Joint Crisis Coordination Center (JCC) will distribute among the desperate refugees and IDPs in several dozens of camps across the Kurdistan Region.
