Qatar Charity (QC) is all set to dispatch fresh humanitarian aid of winter materials at a cost of QR365,000 to Syrian refugee families fighting for survival due to severe cold in Jordan. The project "Winter Aids" is being implemented by QC in collaboration with the Jordanian Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO).
"The project aims to supply basic winter needs like heaters to 1,200 beneficiary families. The necessary winter gears will be distributed to them as harsh winter approaches, and it becomes harder for those Syrians to live outside the country’s refugee camps," said Faisal Al Fahida, QC's Executive Director of Operations. The children, women and the elderly living in the various regions of Jordon are experiencing low temperatures and lack of heating requirements due to the deteriorating living conditions.
"The winter kits will be distributed according to a plan that has already been developed for the benefit of Syrian families to ensure safe access to this vulnerable group. This project costs QR 365,0000, where refugee families will be provided with gas heaters, winter kits (gloves, scarves , kids' blankets) and a family sized blanket," said Al Fahida.
