Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) announced the implementation of four major humanitarian projects in Palestinian cities, villages and towns in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, in co-operation with the Palestine Red Crescent Society, at a total budget of QR4,920,630.
The projects benefited 68,800 people.
A project has been implemented to distribute food parcels to 3,780 families, comprising about 18,900 people, in light of the increased needs of Palestinian families from previous years due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, which has caused unemployment rates to double as a result of the suspension of many businesses and professions.
QRCS also implemented, in co-operation with its Palestinian counterpart, a live meat distribution project to cover the needs of 8,460 Palestinian families in Hebron and its villages, Ramallah and Al Bireh governorate, the villages northwest of Jerusalem, Qalqilya, Tubas and the northern Jordan Valley, Salfit, Jericho and the southern Jordan Valley, Nablus and Central Jordan Valley, Tulkarm, and Jenin, and the city of Bethlehem and its villages.
In the health sector, QRCS completed a project to restore and equip the operations and sterilisation sections of the Palestinian Red Crescent Hospital — Jerusalem.
The project included the restoration of the operations and sterilisation sections, and the entire electricity network. The operations department was provided with 11 medical devices.
