Algiers- The Algerian Red Crescent disavowed, in the strongest terms, the statements attributed to its President, Dr. Ibtissem Hamlaoui regarding “the reconstruction”, which are not related to the body’s tasks as a humanitarian and relief body, said a statement issued by the humanitarian organization.
The tasks of the Algerian Red Crescent, stressed the same source, are to help people in difficulty and empower vulnerable individuals and communities in Algeria and abroad as it strives to alleviate human suffering everywhere and at all times without partiality or discrimination.
“This distortion campaign comes at a time when the body is deploying huge efforts to provide a wide range of relief and development services, both locally and internationally, capitalizing on its resourceful and specialist staff and volunteers,” concluded the same communiqué.
