QRCS Completes Seasonal Assistance for Non-Food Items in Northwest Syria.

Doha: Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has successfully concluded the project of seasonal assistance for non-food items to mitigate the impact of winter on the most vulnerable displaced people in northwest Syria. Funded by Qatar Fund For Development (QFFD), the project was primarily intended to provide essential winter aid to 10,000 displaced families living in camps, in addition to distributing e-vouchers to beneficiaries which helped them purchase winter requirements from sales centers distributed to multiple regions based on their desire, conditions and needs. The items included heating fuel, carpets, blankets, and tent insulation kits which strikingly helped improve the life of roughly 53,000 displaced people and enabled them to surmount their suffering during chilly weather and mitigate its impacts on them and their children. The project culminated in a productive cooperation between QFFD and QRCS and was among a series of humanitarian projects funded by QFFD and carried out by QRCS in several countr ies around the globe, particularly in the impoverished countries that grapple with humanitarian crises, conflicts and disasters.
