Over 9,000 displaced persons have benefited from urgent food assistance provided by Qatar Charity (QC) as part of the first phase of the distribution plan within 'Support Aleppo' campaign supervised by Qatari humanitarian organisations.
The distribution process will continue until the end of this month.
In the presence of officials from Turkey and Qatar, Qatari humanitarian organisations have launched the first phase of Immediate Response project for the affected people of Aleppo at a cost of QR25 million under supervision of Regulatory Authority for Charitable Activities.
QC has been entrusted with the implementation of food supply project at a cost of QR5 million, targeting 61,000 families which are about 366,000 individuals in western rural Aleppo, Idlib countryside and the northern countryside of Hama.
A committee member of 'Support Aleppo' campaign Mohammed Ali al Ghamdi said the project funded by the philanthropists of Qatar aimed at feeding tens of thousands of displaced people, helping them to face adverse climatic conditions and responding rapidly to the humanitarian conditions of the displaced people in the targeted areas.
Ghamdi said the distribution areas included Idlib and Aleppo countryside regions, where displaced people are suffering from hardship, due to the deterioration of humanitarian condition in Syria in general and in Aleppo in particular. The aid included 48,000 ready-to-eat food baskets and 12,940 regular food baskets distributed to the displaced families from Aleppo in areas of displacement.
"It gives me pleasure to thank the people of Qatar who alleviate the suffering of their brothers who are encountering challenging conditions," Ghamdi said.
He pointed out that the ready-to eat food baskets contain jam, halva, drinking water, tuna, canned cheese, bean and biscuit. Regular food baskets contain sunflower oil, olive oil, red lentils, bean, salt, pasta, vermicelli, tomato sauce, sugar, groats, rice, flour, halva and jam.
It is noteworthy to mention that 'Support Aleppo' campaign has been launched under directive of the Emir His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani after cancelling the celebration of the Qatar National Day in solidarity with the people of Aleppo. About QR310 million was collected for the campaign.
The partners of 'Support Aleppo', including Qatar Red Crescent, QC, Eid Charity, Sheikh Thani Bin Abdullah Foundation for Humanitarian Services (RAF), and Afif charity, QR25000000 was allocated as an urgent response to the campaign.
