Here are some ways to help your brothers and sisters in Syria…
The people of the world should hang their collective heads in shame at the atrocities that are happening in Syria.
HH The Emir Shikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani took a compassionate step when he decided to cancel Qatar’s National Day celebrations.
Taking things forward, each and every person in Qatar should come forward and do their part in helping their brothers and sisters in Aleppo, Syria.

these guys are funny, Qatar has money and it can help provide shelter for the Syrian people, they are their brothers and sisters. Qataris fund the rebels and now they say they have sympathy for the people, if you had sympathy then you would support the government then later hold dialogues, it always works, but unfortunately the Russians stick to their friends.
Hypocrite, same as most of the GCC countries. Why not really help your muslim brothers and take in refugees?
A really kind gesture, we are proud of the generousity being shown by the people .............
proud of Qatar... the only country came forward to help Syrian people with utmost humanity.... salute
This is a fantastic post. Many like to give but discouraged/forgets (thou not ignore) due to lack of knowledge "to how". Now we know how.
Easiest option for me looks like SMS, Malls (as weekend is to follow and many visits malls in weekend) and UBER (sure we have many things at home lying around, but try to give "gently used items".
Thanks for the post, by posting you made "how to" easy and clear and that's the work kind of charity too.
May Almighty help Syria and other suffers of the world.
