The ‘Qurbani' will be delivered to low-income families, widows, orphans and their families, as well as foreign farmworkers. The orphan's gifts will also be distributed to 390 children, while 600 people will benefit from the "Eid clothes."

This year, Qatar charity will focus on countries going through hard times, targeting the distribution of more than 3,000 Qurbani in Yemen. More than 2000 will be delivered to Syrian refugees in Turkey, 875 in Chad, as well as 1,750 in Palestine and 475 in Iraq.

Mr. Faisal Rashid Al Fehaida, assistant to the CEO Operations and International partnerships Sector at (QC), said: "Qatar Charity attaches great importance to the Qurbani project outside Qatar because it brings joy to vulnerable families, orphans, widows and those with special needs on Eid day."
