Campaign aims to raise ₹6.6 cr for White Helmets
A fundraising campaign aiming to raise $1 million (around ₹6.6 crore) for the White Helmets has been launched, after the Syrian civil defence organisation failed to win the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize. The rescue organisation of 3,000 volunteers has saved over 62,000 lives during the ongoing Civil War. The Nobel Peace Prize was won by Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos.
