GCH Continues to Help with Healthcare Development in the Middle East

Giving Children Hope is preparing to send another container of humanitarian aid to Iraqi Kurdistan within the week.

Through an ongoing healthcare development program in Iraq, Giving Children Hope sends an average of three 40-foot containers per month full of medical equipment and supplies bound for a region in Iraq.

Giving Children Hope is dedicated to improving the lives of Iraqi children and families through the replenishment of local hospitals and medical clinics.

The 40-foot container will be packed with medical equipment and supplies such as surgical supplies, lab supplies, and oxygen supplies.

Iraq, officially Republic of Iraq, is bordered on the south by Kuwait, the Persian Gulf, and Saudi Arabia; on the west by Jordan and Syria; on the north by Turkey; and on the east by Iran. Iraq formerly shared a neutral zone with Saudi Arabia that is now divided between the two countries. Baghdad is the capital and largest city. The country is divided into 18 provinces (Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia)
