Qatar Charity delivers assistance to 300 families in north India

Qatar Charity (QC), with the support from the people in Qatar, has recently managed to distribute food baskets and clothes to nearly 300 families living in difficult conditions in the northern Indian states of UP and Bihar.

The assistance comes to contribute to easing the suffering of the beneficiary families, as Qatar Charity, by delivering such aid, aims to support orphans, the poor, the needy, and families with no breadwinner, and contribute to alleviating their hardship, because they usually live under a very problematic condition, facing the critical economic situation. 

The recent assistance, which included 116 baskets with basic foodstuffs, were distributed to 116 families, while women clothes were delivered to 175 families to meet their basic living needs and preserve their human dignity.

Each basket consists of basic food items sufficient for a family of five for a period of a month approximately. Qatar Charity carried out the distribution of the aid in cooperation with the Guidance Educational and Welfare Society.

Earlier, Qatar Charity has provided aid to those affected by the floods that hit the State of UP, India, benefiting 300 families, who lost all their possessions and their homes were demolished.

It is worth mentioning that northern parts of India, particularly the states of Bihar and Up, experience heavy raining and rise in the water levels of rivers, bringing harsh flooding annually, which causes the death and displacement of thousands of people in addition to damaging infrastructure, homes and farmlands badly.

The 2019 floods affected severely many districts of Bihar and UP, causing hundreds of deaths and injuries and displacement of a huge number of people. Rainwater swamped hospital wards and residential areas.
