The video discusses the efforts of volunteers in Iraq who deliver food and supplies to fighters battling the Islamic State. These volunteers support both regular troops and paramilitary groups like Hashid Al Shabi. They operate convoys from southern cities like Basra, Karbala, and Baghdad, considering their work a religious duty. The operation is funded by private donations and also aids refugees displaced by conflict. Supplies include clothing and essentials, ensuring fighters are well-stocked. The volunteers focus on strategic goals, such as cutting off Mosul from Syria, while avoiding direct involvement in certain battles.
