Bülent Yıldırım, the President of the Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH), inspected two purchased ships for the International Freedom Flotilla. Yıldırım stated, "This cargo ship has a capacity of 5,500 tons and its name is Anadolu. It will carry our country's aid and compassion to Gaza. The name of other ship is Vicdan (Conscience). This ship will accommodate conscientious activists from around the world and deliver the conscience of the world to the shores of Gaza."

IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation’s “Goodness withstands the cold” winter campaign has distributed supplies such as coal, blankets, mattresses, food parcels, coats and boots to 15.744 families in north Syria.

Throughout the year, the IHH delivered 1,658 truckloads of humanitarian aid, weighing a total of 42,000 tons, to war-affected civilians living in various regions of Syria.
