Doha –June 2, 2026
Qatar Charity (QC) has distributed food baskets to families from Yemeni, Syrian, and Sudanese communities in Somalia, as well as to Somali families displaced from Yemen. The initiative, implemented under the “The Greatest Days” campaign and supported by donors in Qatar, benefited 1,854 people, aiming to ease their difficult living conditions.
Refugees & IDPs
Mr. Abdulfatah Adam, Country Director of Qatar Charity’s Somalia Branch, said the initiative reflects the organization’s ongoing efforts to support the most vulnerable groups, especially during the blessed days of Dhul-Hijjah. He explained that beneficiaries were carefully selected to ensure the assistance reaches those most in need.
He added that Qatar Charity continues to expand its humanitarian work to support refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and those affected by crises, in line with its broader relief efforts in Somalia, where food assistance helps families facing hardship due to conflict and drought.
For his part, H.E. Ali Yusuf Ali Hosh, Minister of Interior, Federal Affairs, and Reconciliation of the Federal Republic of Somalia, praised Qatar Charity’s humanitarian role and the continued support provided by the State of Qatar to the Somali people.
Water Projects
The “Greatest Days” campaign includes a range of food and water projects. It focused on providing food baskets for people affected by ongoing crises, while also supporting longer-term solutions such as agriculture and small livestock projects to enhance food security.
The campaign also supported water projects, including well drilling, to help address water shortages and drought in several countries.
Easing Daily Burdens
Beneficiaries expressed their gratitude for the assistance, noting that it helped them meet their basic needs during challenging economic conditions.
Mr. Mohammed Ali Al-Tayyar from the Syrian community said the support eased daily burdens and thanked the donors, Qatar Charity, and the Somali people for their support.
Mr. Adnan Abdulbasit Ali Hassan, a father of three from the Yemeni community, said the food baskets were especially important amid high unemployment, helping families secure essential supplies.
