The Kurdish Red Crescent (Kurdish: Heyva Sor a Kurd; Arabic: الهلال الأحمر الكردي) is a humanitarian nonprofit organisation operating mainly in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria. It is the primary provider of medical care and aid for refugees who have fled from attacks by ISIL and the Syrian and Turkish governments.[3][4] It has also been involved in the reconstruction of Kobanî, which was largely destroyed after months of fighting with ISIL.
