Qatar Charity (QC) has continued its considerable efforts to offer urgent and instant relief since the crisis hit Mosul, providing food and medicine, and benefiting 15,000 people.
QC aims at constantly helping Iraqis to overcome the conditions they are going through, alleviate their terrible suffering, and provide them with the necessary supplies.
Mohammed al-Kaabi, director of Relief Department in QC said, “Extending aid, which has started for a long time, to the people of Iraq is still ongoing. Today, QC is providing an urgent and fast relief to thousands of families who have stayed in Mosul. QC distributed food baskets including: rice, sugar, edible oil, tea, lentils, tomato paste, beans, canned cheese, and milk for kids so as to give them a glimmer of hope.”
The emergency humanitarian relief has included medical supplies such as aspirins, paracetamol, paediatric drugs, dressings, sterilisers and other medicines hospitals desperately need in the city which are suffering from a severe shortage of medical supplies. These are intended to provide the rest of families in Mosul with the capability to confront the serious crisis there which has resulted in the harsh humanitarian situation and losing thousands of families their property and savings.
Al-Kaabi noted, “The humanitarian crisis in Iraq is one of the most serious crises at the global humanitarian level, especially due to the military operations in Mosul which have resulted in record numbers of displaced people. More than 10mn Iraqi citizens, one third of the population of Iraq, currently need humanitarian aid."
"More than 4mn Iraqis have been displaced after the expansion of the fighting since the beginning of the crisis in 2014. 3.3mn are still facing troubles without a place till today. Further, the serious crisis in Mosul has forced over 700,000 people, most of them suffer from hard living conditions, to flee from Mosul and the surrounding villages,” he added.
QC has carried out a project for building a camp consisting of 1,000 equipped tents in addition to and health facilities for the displaced people along with launching "Help people in Mosul” campaign to aid those who are displaced from their houses due to the war.
The war has led to massive displacement of Iraqi families towards the most secure areas of Iraq, as they found themselves homeless without any shelters experiencing the harsh conditions that have increased their suffering. There is a dire need of humanitarian relief, especially food, tents and health facilities that provide them with the fundamental necessities of life.
