Chairman of the Qatari National Committee for the Reconstruction of Gaza, ambassador Mohamed al-Emadi, has revealed the details of the disbursement of the recent Qatari grant of QR31mn ($9mn).
Speaking yesterday during a press conference at Al Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza, al-Emadi said that of the total $9mn grant, $2.6mn would be allocated for food parcels, blankets and upholstery, $500,000 for hospital fuel, sewage pumps and the Ministry of Health, $2mn for medicines, $1mn for renovating homes of the poor, another $1mn for paying the fees of university students and $2mn will be allocated for humanitarian and morbidity cases.
Al-Emadi said that under the current difficult and complicated circumstances, His Highness the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani has been at the forefront of those taking the initiative to extend a helping hand to the people of Gaza at a time when they are suffering from oppression.
The ambassador added that the Emir’s gesture proves that he has stood by the people of Gaza always and will continue to do so in the future.
Ambassador al-Emadi expressed hope that Qatar’s move to provide humanitarian relief will act as a strong incentive, after which an international move would take place in order to save the people of Gaza from the humanitarian tragedy they are experiencing.
He stressed the need to find a permanent solution to the issue of Gaza’s employees within the framework of the Palestinian reconciliation, saying that if the reconciliation happens, the crisis of the employees will end.
He added that there must be comprehensive solutions to the issues of employees, not just salaries of a month or two.
The chairman of the Qatari National Committee for the Reconstruction of Gaza reaffirmed that Qatar is in constant contact with the Palestinian government, the United Nations and international institutions for co-ordination and co-operation so as to help the people of Gaza.
