Kurdistan Region distributes over 112 million liters of kerosene to families ahead of winter
The distribution process began following a directive issued by Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani on Sept. 11.
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) — More than 112 million liters of kerosene have been distributed across the Kurdistan Region, benefitting over 562,000 families, according to a statement by the General Directorate of Mineral Investment on Tuesday. This distribution, which covers nearly half (47%) of the region's planned kerosene allocation, is part of an initiative to support families as winter approaches.
The distribution process began following a directive issued by Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani on Sept. 11. The Ministry of Natural Resources has since prioritized the delivery of refined and adjustable kerosene to families living in both mountainous areas and urban centers, where heating needs are anticipated to be substantial during the colder months.
This government-led effort underscores the Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) commitment to ensuring that essential heating resources reach communities in time for winter.
