Qatar Charity (QC) has completed a new round of food assistance for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Gaza, distributing 26,000 food baskets that benefited around 130,000 people. The initiative was funded by generous donors in Qatar through the campaign “'Labbeh Gaza: Commitment and Solidarity'.
The aid aims to ease the severe humanitarian crisis and improve food security for families affected by the blockade and two years of the war.
Gaza continues to face acute shortages of essential supplies, with the UN declaring a widespread famine in August—the first ever in the Middle East. According to UN agencies, over 500,000 people are trapped in famine conditions, while 91% of Gaza’s population —around 1.95 million people— suffers from extreme food insecurity, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).
Each basket contains basic food supplies sufficient for a family for about a month. Beneficiaries expressed gratitude, calling the assistance “a timely lifeline” and “a message of solidarity from hearts that never forget.”
Qatar Charity continues to urge donors to support its ongoing 'Labbeh Gaza' campaign. Contributions can be made via the organization’s website and mobile app, through its home collection service, by dialing 44290000, or by visiting its branches and representatives in commercial centers.
As part of Qatar’s land bridge of humanitarian aid, a recent shipment of relief supplies—including shelter tents and essential items—crossed the Rafah border to help ease the suffering of Gazans, especially with winter approaching and temperatures dropping.
