Bringing a smile to the faces of children with Thalassemia disease in Duhok

On international Thalassemia Day on 8 May 2024, children with the blood disorder, caused when the body doesn't make enough of a protein called haemoglobin, were treated to a special event as they received gifts and entertainment from many sponsors, particularly Nada Jergis, who has been sponsoring this event for many years. Jergis said she appreciated the donation by some people from Australia when she visited recently. Naseem Sadiq attended the event and filed this report.
