Qatar Charity (QC) said its field teams continue to deliver aid to internally displaced people in Syria as part of its ‘Qatar Relief Conveys’ campaign. The number of trucks loaded with relief materials has so far reached 104.
The beneficiaries expressed their gratitude to the donors in Qatar for supporting them and helping to alleviate their suffering in these challenging circumstances.
Ahmed Ismail, director of the Al-Nour camp located in the Harem District of Idlib Governorate, Syria, said, “The majority of those living in the camp have been displaced many years ago and are unable to continue their work, which has made their living conditions worse, particularly in terms of meeting their winter needs and securing food.”
He described the ‘Qatar Relief Coveys’ as a great gift for the displaced, 90% of whom are unable to secure daily bread and meet the basic needs of their children.
To date, some 104 trucks have been sent to provide assistance to displaced Syrian people, carrying enough food parcels for one family per month, food, more than 3000 tons of flour, personal hygiene and household goods.
The aid also included 25 caravans, which benefited 25 families of widows, orphans and people with special needs, in addition to the distribution of tents.
Suhaib Abdel Qaddour, director of the Ikhals camp, where 380 families live, thanked Qatar Charity for providing assistance, hoping for similar projects that would help move families to better housing units to protect them from the cold and heat.
Qatar Charity has also launched the ‘Qatar Relief Coveys’ as part of its Winter Campaign ‘Warmth and Peace,’ urging benefactors to encourage efforts to maximise the number of beneficiaries, including refugees, displaced persons and those affected.
