Qatar Charity (QC) announced the establishment and operation of “Qatar Al-Khair Camp” to provide shelter, water, and food for internally displaced persons (IDPs) fleeing Al-Fashir to Al-Dabbah in Sudan’s Northern State. The camp, supported by Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), will also deliver health and education services for three months.

Mr. Othman Ahmed Othman, Acting Governor of Northern State, praised Qatar Charity’s swift and effective intervention, noting that its provision of food, shelter, and health assistance will help absorb the initial shock of displacement amid a massive influx of IDPs.

He confirmed that local authorities have approved the establishment of a humanitarian camp for Qatar Charity to continue delivering essential food, shelter, and health aid. He also commended the State of Qatar—its government and people—describing Qatar Charity as a key partner in addressing disasters affecting the state.

Meanwhile, Ms. Manal Makawi, Minister of Social Affairs for Northern State, said Qatari aid had been among the first to reach Sudanese communities in need, stressing its consistent leadership in emergency response.

Mr. Tariq Mohy Al Din, Acting Country Director of Qatar Charity's Sudan office, said field teams had already begun preparations to implement the Qatar Al-Khair Camp initiative, which will include interventions in shelter, food security, non-food items, and access to safe drinking water. He added that urgent relief distributions - including food baskets, tents, floor mats, blankets, and family hygiene kits – are expected to begin immediately.

Over the next three months, Qatar Charity's plan, supported by QFFD, will see the distribution of thousands of food baskets, daily meals, shelter kits, hygiene supplies, kitchen tools, mobile clinics, potable water, and the establishment of a temporary school.

To ease the suffering of Al-Fashir IDPs, Qatar Charity urges donors to contribute to its “Sudan Relief” campaign via its website and mobile app, home collection service, call center (44290000), or through branches and authorized collectors in shopping malls.
