Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has provided relief and winterisation aid for more than 47,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) and host communities in northern Syria. The mission was funded by Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD).
Through its representation mission in Gaziantep, Turkey, field workers were deployed across Idlib and Aleppo countryside, to distribute a total of 3,600 blankets and 2,400 mattresses to 800 households (4,000 persons), each receiving 5 blankets and 3 mattresses on average.
Moreover, kitchenware kits were distributed, each containing cooking utensils and food containers adequate for six persons, as well as 600 fuel-powered heaters. These distributions together benefited 7,300 persons.
As a gift from Qatar, QRCS distributed more than 52 tons of dates to 8,000 most affected households, or 40,000 persons.

Relief and nonfood items (NFL) is a major component of focus in QRCS's humanitarian operations. These kinds of aid effectively alleviate the suffering of affected communities, particularly in destination and blockaded areas, thus saving their lives and preserving their dignity.
The population of northern Syria is facing dreadful conditions, with the number of IDPs hovering around 1.2mn across Idlib, Aleppo, Hama, and their countryside.
Things become even worse during the winter, together with the impact of war, overpopulation, and lack of basic needs.
