Medicine donation campaign for Afrin in Cologne

Afrin people urgently need medicines. The platform "Solidarity with Afrin" has launched a donation campaign in Cologne. Medication can be given in the solidarity tent in front of Cologne Cathedral.

Cologne's "Solidarity with Afrin Platform" has launched a donation campaign for urgently needed medicines for the civilian population of Afrin. Donations can be made in the action tent in front of Cologne Cathedral until Friday.

Platform spokesman Latif Paşahan said the goal was to reach out to the needy people in Afrin and called on the public to show solidarity with the people of Afrin, who had to flee the attacks of the Turkish occupying forces.

To the public, Latif Paşahan made the following call: "With the occupation of Afrin hundreds of thousands of people left their homes and were forced to flee. In tent camps outside Afrin, they now try to survive. Life-sustaining needs such as medicines, food and water are urgently needed. To show the people of Afrin that we feel with them, we started this fundraising. Until Friday, we will inform the guests of our info tent about the current situation in Afrin and ask for donations of medicines. We believe that peaceful opponents of war and occupation will be particularly helping us with this cause."

Donations can be made until Friday between 16 o'clock and 19 o'clock in the solidarity tent.
