Qatar Charity (QC) teams inside Syria distributed the first batches of aid as part of its 'Warmth and Peace' campaign to face the dangers of winter in several camps for displaced Syrians in the countryside of Aleppo and Idlib governorates.
The aid included heaters, charcoal and food baskets, benefiting 12,500 people from the neediest families, and this aid is part of the first convoy of winter aid.
In the coming days, more humanitarian aid convoys will be sent as part of the continued distribution of aid for the 'Warmth and
Peace' campaign for the 2021-2022 season, QC said in a statement.
Camp residents who are facing a difficult winter stressed that the aid came at an appropriate time. Abdul Aziz al-Hamad, a resident of a camp in Idlib, said: “Before the arrival of Qatar Charity’s aid, I was not able to provide and instal a heater for my family, despite the extreme cold."
Khaled al-Hoyan, director of the Al-Tali’a camp, said the camp suffers from difficult living conditions, and the suffering of the displaced residents of the camp is more severe in the winter season.
He said most of the camp's residents were unable to instal heaters until Qatar Charity provided them, due to their difficult financial conditions, and expressed his thanks to the people of Qatar and QC.
The following camps benefited from the winter aid that was distributed in the countryside of Aleppo: Matnli camp, Al-Sator camp, car office camp, Al-Tanak factory camp, amusement park, Sheikh Al-Hadid city and Aranda village (Sheikh Al-Hadid); and in the countryside of Idlib governorate: Al-Tali’a camp, Kalli, Al-Musa camp, Abd Al-Rahman camp, Babsaka, Al-Zaytoun camp and Kfarehmol.
The materials distributed included heaters (300) and charcoal (300 tonnes), at a rate of 250kg per family, and the number of beneficiaries reached 1,200 families (6,500 individuals). The the aid also included 1,100 food baskets, consisting of the most important food items needed by families, and the number of beneficiaries was more than 6,000.
