"Operation Provide Comfort" was a humanitarian mission initiated by the United States and its allies in 1991. It aimed to provide relief to the Kurdish population in northern Iraq following the Gulf War. The operation focused on delivering food, medical supplies, and shelter to those displaced by conflict and persecution. The mission also involved establishing a no-fly zone to protect the Kurdish people from potential attacks by the Iraqi government. This operation laid the groundwork for future humanitarian efforts and highlighted the international community's role in addressing human rights crises.
