Volunteers in a Qatar Charity aid vehicle in Tihama city of war-torn Yemen.
Qatar Charity (QC) distributed 1,500 food baskets to people suffering from famine in the Tihama city of war-torn Yemen.
The aid was part of QC’s relief campaign launched last month under '#Tihama_Yemen _ famine'.
QC will also distribute 1,500 food baskets in Al Hudaydah at a total cost of QR 900,000.
"QC distributed 500 food baskets to the families affected by famine at Tuhayat District and 1,000 food baskets were distributed in the three districts (Al Khawkhah - Ad Durayhimi - Tuhayat), which are the most affected districts by the famine in Tihama region," said Nasr Qaed Alzaeem, the Director of QC's office in Yemen.
QC would continue its aid to Tihama regions and Al Hudaydah governorate that was affected by the famine. These efforts would ensure food security for the families for a month. He praised the generous donation of the Qatari people and the residents in Qatar, especially in such difficult circumstances.
QC's office in Yemen periodically coordinates the efforts of the humanitarian work in Al Hudaydah governorate, Yemen. In this regard, the office participates in meetings conducted by the international organisations and Yemeni official bodies.
The meeting aimed at presenting the current interventions to help the people, provide assistance in the most pressing areas, including food security, health, water, sanitation, shelter, addressing the problems hindering the humanitarian work, and identifying the steps that should be followed to resolve the humanitarian crisis in Al Hudaydah governorate.
The meeting took place between the health office in Al Hudaydah governorate, Unicef and Tayba Foundation, in order to facilitate opening a malnutrition clinic by QC in the city. The office visited the displaced people's camp to evaluate their humanitarian conditions and to conduct a mini-survey of the whole situation.
Many displaced Yemeni families are leading a tough life as they have lost their source of livelihood. These families depended on fishing, but fled to other villages due to the current tragic events.
