Qatar Charity extends food aid to displaced Iraqis

Little do we realize how blessed we are to have a roof over our heads and food to give us strength.

Many parts of the world are suffering from hardships and difficulties with barely enough to fulfill their basic needs. It’s, hence, our duty to extend some form of help to the less fortunate. 

Aiming for exactly this, the Qatar Charity (QC) has started a relief campaign for displaced Iraqis in Kurdistan Region. In this campaign, it has been reported that over 11,000 people benefited from food aid.

The delegation which presented aid included Mohammed Jassim Al Saliti, Relief Coordinator, QC, and Dr Ayesh Al Qahtani, a preacher at QC.

 Aid included food parcels, each containing flour, rice, oil, lentil, tomato paste, macaroni, cheese, pekmez, sugar, tea, beans, milk, vermicelli, humus and butter, were given to over 1,600 families.

The team distributed parcels in coordination with Islamic Kurdish Association to the displaced in the camps in Sulaymaniyah and homes rented by the displaced.

Al Saliti said, “The people living in the areas of territorial dispute in Iraq are suffering bad conditions which has led to the displacement of thousands. As a result, QC started working on alleviating their suffering and contributing to meeting their basic needs.”

He also added, “Through its visit, the delegation identified some families’ needs and helped pay for some expensive medical treatments.”

 Dr. Al Qahtani urged philanthropists to help the displaced people by providing basic supplies. [The Peninsula]
