Volunteers, media figures, social media influencers and social activists expressed happiness for being able to take part, as Qatar Charity (QC)’s delegation members, in the distribution of aid to Syrian refugees near the Turkish-Syrian border. The initiative was part of Qatar Charity’s ‘Warmth and Peace’ winter drive.
They emphasised the importance of getting involved in humanitarian work on the ground to contribute to alleviating the suffering of the vulnerable, assess their needs closely and apprise the benefactors in Qatar on their hardship.
“We, through conveying what we saw on the ground, aim to acquaint the people with the pain of those going through a very challenging time, and raise awareness among our children and others about the vulnerable who are unable to meet their simplest needs,” said Dr Hamad al-Jaber, superviser of the Nebras initiative.
He added that this visit had a positive impact on him. He encouraged people to get involved in humanitarian work and pay such visits.
Participating in the aid convoys of QC on the ground in Turkey, Asma al-Hammadi, a Qatari media figure, urged people in Qatar to contribute to QC’s ‘Warmth and Peace’ campaign to help the largest possible number of Syrian refugees and displaced persons.
She also thanked Qatar Charity for allowing her to be closer to the vulnerable to assess their needs.
She said the refugees’ situation, which she saw three years ago, had gotten worse due to the economic and climatic conditions. With temperatures beginning to fall further it would bring additional suffering to the refugees and displaced, she said noting the people were in urgent need of shelter, food and medicine.
Abdul Rahman al-Harami said the charitable work, with the support of benefactors in Qatar, is going on and sends a message from the Elbeyli camp to donors in Qatar to continue supporting QC’s ‘Warmth and Peace’ campaign, in light of the growing needs and challenging economic conditions of the vulnerable.
“This visit allowed me to participate in distributing the aid of the people of Qatar to Syrian refugees through the convoys of Qatar Charity’s 'Warmth and Peace' campaign,” said Hamad Jassim, mediaperson, beIN SPORTS. He said with his visit to the Elbeyli camp he was able to see first-hand how the aid of Qatar’s benefactors continuously reached refugees at the camp.
"I was honoured to be part of Qatar Charity’s delegation visiting a Syrian refugee camp where there is a growing need for food and medicine,” said Mohamed Ghanem al-Mohannadi, expressing delight at distributing aid to the refugees.
“It is our duty, as journalists, to shed light on the suffering of refugees and the displaced to mobilise support for them,” added Mohamed al-Hammadi, a journalist at Qatar TV.
“We are distributing the donations of benefactors in Qatar to the refugees to contribute to alleviating their winter suffering,” said Mohsen Jassim – Wakra Live, adding that everyone can carry out charitable work.
