Qatar Charity to launch the 2019-2020 winter campaign

Qatar Charity (QC) is all set to launch the 2019-2020 winter campaign from Syrian and Palestinian refugee camps in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to provide the necessary assistance to the vulnerable for their survival during the harsh month of winter.  The campaign is expected to benefit hundreds of thousands of people in the areas of food, shelter, and heating.

Today, a delegation from Qatar Charity, social activists, and social media influencers are heading to Jordan to launch the campaign and distribute the first batch of winter assistance directly to Syrian and Palestinian refugees living in camps and low-income Jordanian families.

The delegation will also tour the Qatar Charity Medical Center in the Zaatari refugee camp, in addition to participating in the implementation of other projects for Syrian and Palestinian refugees and low-income Jordanian families.

The campaign aims to meet the necessary winter needs of the targeted vulnerable in the areas of food, shelter, and heating by providing food baskets, winter clothes, blankets, heaters, heating fuel, tents, caravans, tent and house maintenance, mattresses, pillows, hygiene items, and bag for orphans containing winter clothes, blankets, and food basket.

The campaign focuses on the affected in countries like Syria and Palestine, which are going through exceptional circumstances. It also concentrates on the underprivileged in countries where temperatures fall below zero degrees Celsius.

Qatar Charity, with the support from benefactors in Qatar, is keen to implement such campaigns at the beginning of each winter to ease the suffering of the vulnerable, and contribute to saving the lives, especially children, women, and the elderly in the most affected countries.

This reality poses a significant challenge to all humanitarian organizations, requiring them to mobilize more resources to contribute to the safety of these sections.

Given the difficult situation of refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and those in need in countries experiencing extreme cold, Qatar Charity urges benefactors to support the campaign to deliver assistance to the targeted people and ease their hardship.
