With the support of donors in Qatar and through its office in Pakistan, Qatar Charity (QC) continues to distribute thousands of food baskets to vulnerable groups such orphans, and Afghan refugees.
This aid falls within the framework of QC campaign (Ramadan of Hope), and the distributions were carried out in co-ordination with government officials.
The number of beneficiaries exceeded 45,000 residents and Afghan refugees, and the distribution included different areas in the provinces of Sindh, Punjab, and Baluchistan, it was explained in a QC statement on Tuesday.
In Peshawar region, 12,600 Afghan refugees benefited from the assistance provided by QC, and it was welcomed by the refugees, especially since most of them do not have a stable source of livelihood and cannot afford food expenses during the month of Ramadan.
The chairman of the Afghan Committee in the Khyber region, Muhammad Abbas, expressed his appreciation and thanks for the efforts of charitable donors in favour of Afghan refugees in Pakistan during the holy month, especially as they live in difficult economic conditions.
Shabiba Bibi, an Afghan refugee in Peshawar camp, who lives with her five children, said she is the only breadwinner and she works as a domestic worker, but her income is not enough to meet their basic needs.
Shabiya expressed her gratitude to Qatar Charity for providing her with food aid and added: "My kids are happy now; you put a smile on their faces again."
She also thanked the donors in Qatar and said she is praying for them during this holy month for their generous donations.
Zabihullah, an Afghan refugee from Peshawar camp who works as a driver, said Afghan refugees are suffering from economic problems and cannot find good job opportunities and therefore unable to support their families properly and often have only one meal a day. He benefited from the Ramadan food baskets distributed by QC.
Several local personalities participated in the distribution operations in the Khyber region, including Maliha Sahar, the assistant commissioner of the region, who thanked the people of Qatar for their continuous support during the month of Ramadan.
Saber Hussain Maher, assistant commissioner in the Sindh region, participated in the distribution operations in the region and said that he greatly appreciates this step, which includes a lot of professionalism and quality control of the materials provided to people affected by drought and malnutrition.
In Punjab, the deputy commissioner of the Region, Shahid Joya, and the Social Welfare Department deputy director Azhar Abbas, praised the efforts made by QC to help the poor and the needy.
Subhan Khatun, a Pakistani benefiting from the assistance provided by QC, said that after the death of her husband, and despite her continuing to work and take care of her children, she was unable to feed them twice a day.
Khatun added she is grateful to QC, which she considered a blessing for her to feed her children.
