Qatar Charity allocates $5mn aid for Palestine

Qatar Charity (QC), through its relief teams in Palestine, continues to provide urgent aid to affected families in co-operation with the Ministry of Social Development, aiming to contribute to meeting their urgent humanitarian needs in light of their current challenging conditions.

The aid comes as part of the relief campaign launched by Qatar Charity last week in response to the tough humanitarian events currently unfolding in Palestine. QC has announced the allocation of $5mn within the framework of the relief drive to support the affected and displaced in the Gaza Strip, West Bank and Jerusalem.

As part of the relief drive, Qatar Charity seeks to focus on providing urgent food and health aid, distributing personal hygiene kits in light of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, and rehabilitating and equipping health centres and hospitals to accommodate the largest number of patients possible and the injured.

QC has urged the benevolent people of Qatar to support the relief campaign meant for Palestine to enable it to provide aid to the largest number of displaced and affected people possible to meet their urgent humanitarian needs and alleviate their suffering. Benefactors can donate through Qatar Charity’s website, app, branches and collection points across the country, in addition to dialing 44667711.

In a statement, Qatar Charity thanked the generous donors who supported the drive as well as the institutions, companies, restaurants and café that allocated part of their sales profit for the campaign. As of the beginning of this week, QC began providing urgent relief aid to help the people of the Gaza Strip by distributing blankets, pillows and mattresses.

Mohamed Abu Haloub, director of QC's office in the Gaza Strip, confirmed that Qatar Charity would implement many projects in support of various sectors, especially health, noting that medicines and medical supplies would be provided. He also indicated that, in the coming days, QC would support other sectors, especially food security, for the benefit of the affected families.

He also noted that support would be extended to the displaced whose houses were destroyed by providing rent, indicating that Qatar Charity would spare no effort in supporting the people of the Gaza Strip who have been affected by the current events. He also thanked the people of Qatar for supporting the people of Palestine in these challenging circumstances.
