The humanitarian crisis of Afghanistan continues to cause the reactions of foreign governments and associations such as Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS).This non -profit organization is based in the town of Rota (Cádiz) and since August 22 is collecting donations aimed at Afghan refugees who arrive there.
Precisely the announcement of the application for material occurred at night, after becoming official that day that the Gaditana and Morón (Seville) military base would welcome 4.000 evacuated.In its social networks, the American association communicated the start of the campaign.
American Red Cross, broken animal Welfare League and broken use also participate in it.The objective is to have enough products to meet the needs of American collaborators who are transferred from the Asian country.The rescue in Kabul is still.
Unused and second -hand items
The petition to the American military population focuses on basic need or others that are divided into two lists.On the one hand, there are new or unused (underwear, socks, wipes, pacifiers and bottles for babies, diapers ...).
On the other, second -hand products such as blankets, backpacks, toys, children.In the last update of the request on Facebook, what are the current priorities are exposed.
In addition, volunteers remind donors who take into account the customs and traditions of Afghans.They ask that their culture be respected, with their usual way of dressing.Therefore, they specify that clothing must be discreet and light shoes, sandals type.
The garments should not have spots or holes, yes all buttons and zippers.You have to deliver it washed, in bags or boxes labeled, as with the rest of the products.In the case of the infant formula, it must be halal and even better if it is in liquid format.
Other requests and recommendations are focused on toys (that work and carry new batteries) or to pet donations, which can be delivered to RAWL.Those who wish to contribute something to this campaign can do it at any time of the day addressing the Naval Station of Rota.

Many have already responded to the application, after acquiring the material in the Decathlon de Jerez stores or the port of Santa María, as some users indicate on social networks.Others have gone to Carrefour or other local establishments.
But from the NMCRS they not only ask for those articles cited, but also new volunteers to join the humanitarian work in the area.Through this form, those interested can sign up, providing their personal and contact data.Later, they could notify them if they need them in the event that the situation requires it.
