Qatar Charity (QC) continues to prioritize raising awareness of refugee issues and mobilizing support through integrated humanitarian campaigns, field interventions, and international partnerships, with the aim of meeting basic needs and helping refugees restore stability and live with dignity.
This comes as part of marking World Refugee Day 2026, observed on 20 June, which highlights the suffering of millions of refugees worldwide and emphasizes that protecting the most vulnerable is a shared responsibility.
Humanitarian Campaigns
Millions of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) benefit from Qatar Charity’s various campaigns, including seasonal and specialized initiatives. Through campaigns such as Ramadan, winter, and Udhiyah (Qurbani) initiatives, support is directed to the countries most affected by displacement, particularly Palestine (including the Gaza Strip), Syria, Sudan, Yemen, and Somalia.
The organization has also launched dedicated campaigns to support those affected by displacement, alongside initiatives to address drought in several African countries, helping to ease suffering and strengthen resilience.
In mid-June 2026, Qatar Charity launched a campaign titled “Every Refugee Tent Holds a Story” in conjunction with World Refugee Day, aiming to mobilize support through integrated interventions that include food, water, sanitation, shelter, healthcare, education, and livelihood support.
The campaign targets refugees from crisis-affected countries, including Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, Myanmar, Syria, and Palestine, across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
Scale of interventions
Figures reflect the scale of Qatar Charity’s work. In 2025, it implemented humanitarian projects worth QAR 645 million, benefiting more than 10 million people, mainly in countries affected by displacement.
Qatar Charity has maintained a strategic partnership with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) since 2012, contributing over USD 60 million over the past decade to support its programmes in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, helping more than 2.1 million forcibly displaced people.
High-Impact Projects
Qatar Charity’s efforts extend beyond emergency relief to long-term, high-impact projects. These include the Zaatari Health Centre in Jordan, which serves tens of thousands of Syrian refugees in the camp, and Al-Amal City in northern Syria, which comprises 1,400 housing units with integrated facilities and accommodates around 8,800 people. The organization has also rehabilitated approximately 1,800 homes in rural Hama and the Al‑Ghab Plain.
In 2026, Qatar Charity also provided emergency shelter for Sudanese refugees in Chad through 600 tents, benefiting 4,200 people, as part of its rapid response to displacement crises.
The organization further contributed to rebuilding 326 homes for Rohingya refugees following fires in Cox’s Bazar camp in Bangladesh, in addition to delivering hundreds of other housing units.
New Partnerships
As part of strengthening partnerships, Qatar Charity is expected to sign a USD 10 million agreement on 17 June with the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), in its capacity as Trustee of the Global Islamic Fund for Refugees (GIFR), to support sustainable financing and advance long-term solutions.
Qatar Charity continues to enhance its humanitarian work by linking relief with development to improve refugees’ living conditions and help them rebuild their future with dignity.
