Life-Saving Milk Powder Delivered Inside Conflict Zone E-mail

After many weeks of hard work, IMHO USA & IMHO Canada were finally able to collectively send US$50,000 worth of milk products to the people inside the conflict zone--the first group to be able to do so! These much needed food supplies were transported by the ship “City of Dublin”. The vessel carried a composition of mixed food commodities weighing over 1,029 metric tons, in addition to urgently required medical items, emergency health kits and shelter kits.

Once again, we were able to accomplish this thanks to our partners at the ground level who made this a reality. This is the first time that any agency was able to deliver milk products inside the conflict zone since the beginning of the current crisis. 

Delivery of Milk Powder 1As you may be aware, many children have died due to severe malnutrition as well as from blast injuries. In addition, young mothers have died too due to the current conflict that has resulted in many children not being able to receive breast milk, the only source of energy for them. Thanks to the generous contribution from you we were able to deliver this life-saving milk powder to those children in dire need. In addition, other agencies were able to send food and basic medicines in the same shipment. We will continue to keep you posted of the progress at the ground. Thank you!
