The Kurdish Red Crescent (Kurdish: Heyva Sor a Kurdistanê) is a humanitarian nonprofit organisation legally registered as a German eingetragener Verein operating mainly in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria but headquartered in Germany. It is the primary provider of medical care and aid for refugees who have fled from attacks by the Islamic State and the Syrian and Turkish governments. It has also been involved in the reconstruction of Kobanî, which was largely destroyed after months of fighting with the Islamic State.
