Qatar Charity (QC) has launched a new campaign to provide urgent relief to those affected by floods and torrential rains in in 10 Asian and African countries.
In 2024 alone more than 800,000 people were displaced due to more than 150 climate disasters, while more than 50,000 people are awaiting a helping hand, a statement said Monday.
QC has urged the Qatari people to support the campaign to improve the living conditions of those affected and reach the largest possible segment of the population. This can be done through the QC website and application: www.qcharity.org www.qch.qa/app, through the call centre (44290000), or through branches and collectors in shopping malls.
In parallel with the campaign, QC, with the support of philanthropists in Qatar, has provided relief aid to more than 9,000 displaced people on the outskirts of Mogadishu, including food baskets.
In Djibouti, QC distributed 1,550 food parcels to the neediest families displaced by drought, floods, and other disasters in four regions: Dakhl, Ali Sabieh, Arta, and the capital, benefiting about 9,500 people.
They were distributed in close co-operation and co-ordination with the Ministry of Social Affairs and Solidarity and the relevant local authorities, and in the presence of Ibrahim al-Janahi, head of the Humanitarian Interventions Department at QC.
"The charity works according to an integrated methodology that includes assessing field needs, co-ordinating efforts with local and international agencies, and ensuring the fair and effective distribution of resources," al-Janahi said.
The technical advisor to the Minister of Social Affairs, Mahmoud Bellah, praised QC's ongoing role in Djibouti in providing food security and supporting the affected and needy Djiboutian communities. He also commended its other development projects.
