Qatar Charity’s relief materials being loaded onto trucks from Mersin in southern Turkey for distribution among Syrians across the border.
Qatar Charity’s 2014 food security programmes benefited more than 2.75mn people who were affected by natural or human-made emergencies and disasters in 55 countries across Africa, Asia and Europe, the agency announced yesterday.
Prominent within this is QR58.6mn worth of projects to feed refugee and internally displaced Syrians as well as those displaced during and after the conflict in the Gaza Strip - especially the most vulnerable including the elderly, female-headed households and persons with special needs.
Those directly affected by violence across the Levant, Central and South Asia and Africa were beneficiaries of Qatar Charity, while drought-affected populations of the Sahel and Horn of Africa regions also figured highly in the agency’s projects as did those harmed by widespread European flooding.
