Sheikh Al-bahbahani's visit aimed to see the humanitarian efforts of the delegation of the Al-Abbas's (p) Shrine delegation, and the relief assistance it provides to the families affected by the devastating earthquake in the Syrian city of Latakia and other scattered areas of northern Syria.
The representative of the supreme religious authority in Syria listened to a detailed explanation of the aid transported by the relief convoy of the Al-Abbas's (p) Shrine to Syria, which included more than (1555) tons of relief materials, and more than 220 individuals representing the service and humanitarian effort, to transport food and medicines, and secure shelter supplies, to establish camps for people who lost their homes due to the earthquake.
At the end of the meeting, His Eminence Sheikh Abdul Halim praised the role played by the delegation of the Al-Abbas's (p) Shrine in Syria to alleviate the burden of the affected families and help them overcome their humanitarian plight.
The relief convoy of the Al-Abbas's (p) Shrine set off a few days ago towards Syria to extend a helping hand to the victims of the earthquake, in response to the appeal of the supreme religious authority in Najaf and the directives of His Eminence Sayed Ahmad al-Safi.
The distribution of aid to the families affected by the earthquake in Syria is being carried out by the delegation of the Al-Abbas's (p) holy shrine, in accordance with an organized mechanism, and in coordination with the relevant authorities in the Syrian city of Latakia and other areas, as the members of the Shrine's delegation are doing their best to reach as many of the affected as possible to provide assistance to them.
