Qatar Charity’s (QC) field teams have provided relief to people hit by floods that have struck large parts of West Kordofan. The teams have provided emergency food and shelter assistance to more than 5,824 affected people.
Qatar’s charity teams have been able to reach the most affected people in need of food and shelter in 15 villages of Al-Khoei in West Kordofan. The beneficiaries expressed appreciation for the efforts of Qatar Charity and highly valued the assistance provided to them.
Sharif Bushra, whose house had completely collapsed, thanked the donors in Qatar for helping and provided a tent to house his family.
Suleiman Al-Nayer, one of those affected, said that Qatar Charity was the first organisation to provide generous support to their region, which had been severely damaged by the floods since last August.
For his part, Mohamed Youssef, commissioner for Humanitarian Aid in West Kordofan, said that Qatar Charity’s intervention in providing food aid to the affected areas came at an appropriate time and helped them a great deal in helping those affected in Al-Khoei.
He explained that the damage to the areas in which Qatar Charity intervened was greater than the capacity of the government.
Muhammad Musa, programme manager at Qatar Charity Office in Sudan, said that food aid was provided with the support of a Qatari donor who took the initiative to support the affected people in Al-Khoy with shelter materials and 832 baskets containing a quantity of emergency food needs, adding that about 5,824 affected people had benefited from Qatari food aid.
Moussa noted that the supply of tents and shelter materials to those whose homes were destroyed was part of the campaign ‘Peace for Sudan’, which could reach the areas most affected by the floods in Khartoum, the Nile River, Sennar and Al Jazeera.
The campaign has met with official welcome and remarkable popular appreciation in Sudan.
