Jan. 5 – The Bocelli Foundation takes action alongside the UNHCR to deal with the humanitarian emergency in Iraq. The Foundation established by Andrea Bocelli is providing clean water and blankets to more than 1,500 people. “We are very grateful to the Andrea Bocelli Foundation for its valuable support – says Laura Iucci, UNHCR Fundraising Responsible for Companies and Foundations – Their help holds even more value in this difficult winter: in the Kurdistan region in the north Iraq, the temperatures reach -16°C, and thermal blankets, mattresses and housing remain a priority “”We are happy to stand alongside UNHCR in its emergency operations in support of Iraqi refugees – commented Andrea Bocelli – In Iraq is taking place one of the worst humanitarian crises in decades. And there are many families who are still in urgent need of help, so even a small gesture can make a difference.” (Red)
