Qatar Charity (QC) will organise various activities over three days starting today, as part of the ongoing ‘Sham Deserves’ campaign, to educate people on the plight of Syrian displaced persons and refugees in the harsh cold and their winter essentials.
The activities will be held at Katara and Doha Festival City, with the aim of contributing to easing the hardship of the displaced and refugees by meeting their needs, raising awareness about their issues and marketing winter and relief products for them.
The events will have many activities for children, allowing them and their parents to show their solidarity with the displaced and refugees.
In a statement, QC has urged people to contribute to the ‘Shams Deserves’ campaign to provide urgent relief aid to Syrian people in their country and the countries of asylum.
 Launched by Qatar Media Corp on February 19, and being implemented by Qatar Charity under the supervision of the Regulatory Authority for Charitable Activities, the ‘Sham Deserves’ campaign aims to deliver assistance to 250,000 Syrian refugees and displaced persons in the areas of shelter, food, water, sanitation and health. The campaign will include a joint live TV and radio broadcast on Friday and Saturday by different media outlets.
In conjunction with the campaign, a delegation from QC recently distributed urgent aid to the displaced and refugees in Turkish areas bordering Syria. 
The aid included 200 tonnes of relief materials worth over QR14mn to benefit 864,618 people. The delegation narrated the problematic conditions of Syrian displaced persons and refugees. Another delegation is scheduled to depart on Friday to provide a second batch of aid to Syrian refugees and displaced persons.
