Qatar Charity (QC) projects supported 736,400 war-affected people in Sudan throughout 2024, a statement said Monday.
Throughout the year, the QC launched a series of impactful humanitarian projects, significantly aiding displaced families and communities affected by the war.
These projects focused on alleviating the severity of the ongoing crisis, particularly in areas like food security, health sector support, and assistance to the most vulnerable groups in Sudan.
In 2024, the QC launched one of its largest food security projects to date, distributing 50,000 food baskets to families affected by the war.
It was funded by the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD).
Qatar Charity field teams delivered food assistance to the most impacted states, such as Khartoum, Al Jazirah, Sennar, Gedaref, Kassala, the Red Sea, Nile, White Nile, and Northern States.
Approximately 300,000 people, including displaced persons and host communities, benefitted from this food security project last year.
As part of its emergency medical supplies project, the QC provided essential medications for kidney dialysis patients, cancer patients, and blood bank services.
Supported by the QFFD, the QC distributed 70% of the received medical aid to regions in dire need of these supplies.
More than 7,000 people directly and indirectly benefited from the project in shelters such as Al-Mirganiya, Al-Suraybah, Al-Karmata, Biryay, and Tarawa.
The project included waste management campaigns, training for shelter staff on water chlorination, and workshops on disease prevention for displaced families.
In addition to providing 60 tonnes of medicines, laboratory consumables, and blood bags, the QC also supported health workers, administrative staff, and patients at hospitals such as Al-Jikeeka in the Nile State and Bar Al-Walideen in the Karri locality of Khartoum state.
In collaboration with the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), the QC also launched an emergency response project to address the devastating impacts of floods and extreme heat in eastern Sudan.
