The office was officially launched at the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) headquarters, with a ceremony attended by Turkish Red Crescent President Fatma Meric Yilmaz, Syrian Red Crescent leader Mohammad Hazem, Turkish Red Crescent General Director of International Affairs and Migration Services Alper Kucuk, and other officials.
After the ribbon-cutting and the signing of a protocol, the Turkish delegation office was established within the Syrian Red Crescent building. Aid packages were distributed to those in need following the event.
Following the ceremony, Yilmaz and Hazem visited the Barzeh district in Damascus to deliver aid to vulnerable residents.
