Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS), with funding from Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), is providing winterisation aid for thousands of internally displaced people (IDPs) at Syrian camps to help them overcome the difficult winter conditions.
The aid, as part of the winterisation preparedness project for IDPs and host communities in northwestern Syria, aims to meet the most important winter needs of the displaced and vulnerable families.
Serving a total of 6,000 families as direct beneficiaries, the project involves distributing 500 charcoal heaters to 500 families; 1,800 tonnes of charcoal to 3,000 families; 3,000 blanket packages; 3,000 Covid-19 protection kits; 3,000 women’s kits; and 3,000 hygiene kits - for them to withstand the harsh winter conditions inside and outside the camps.
Over the past few years, QRCS and QFFD have implemented winterisation and seasonal projects for the benefit of those affected by the Syrian crisis.
QRCS’ field personnel have reached out to the most inaccessible and underserved areas across northern Syria and Turkey to provide relief and food assistance for IDPs and refugees.
This project is being implemented under a bilateral cooperation agreement to provide essential winterisation aid for 30,000 IDPs in northwestern Syria, including heating supplies, blankets, hygiene kits, and Covid-19 protection supplies.
A second grant agreement was signed to assist 37,500 Syrian refugees in Arsal, Lebanon, by digging 10 drains to prevent rainwater leakage into tents, as well as distributing blankets, winter wear, hygiene kits, and Covid-19 protection supplies.
