Qatar Charity implements Ramadan projects in northern Syria camps

Qatar Charity (QC) continues to distribute Iftar meals to orphans, earthquake survivors, and those most in need in camps in northern Syria, as part of the 'Ramadan: Leave Your Mark’ campaign.
The initiative is within the framework of the ‘Feed the Fasting’ project, which aims to distribute nearly 96,000 meals by the end of Ramadan.
The meals are distributed daily, and one meal is sufficient for three people. The total number of beneficiaries is expected to reach 290,000.
This comes in response to the urgent food need of those affected by the earthquake, as they left their homes that were destroyed or damaged and are no longer habitable and moved to live in tents or caravans.
Abdullah al-Nuaimi, director of the Baba Amr camp, which shelters those affected by the earthquake in the Jindires town, said: "We thank those in charge of implementing this project, as it was a positive initiative that helped people greatly in the holy month of Ramadan."
Walid Hamdan, director of Zamka camp, said: "The project has contributed to alleviating the suffering of internally displaced persons (IDPs) living in the camp,” noting that the economic conditions are worsening, and that most of the residents of the camp do not have a fixed income.
He indicated that these meals have alleviated the suffering of the population and helped families to use their income to meet their other basic needs.
QC also organised a collective Iftar for orphans and those affected by the earthquake in Atarib in northern Syrian, where most families still live in tents and have lost most of their property and business.
Mohamed Abdul Rahman, director of an orphan organisation in Atarib, said the Iftar event held by QC was wonderful because it brought together orphans, mothers, and earthquake victims on a special Ramadan table.
The implementation of projects for Syrian IDPs and refugees comes as part of QC's ‘Ramadan: Leave Your Mark’ campaign, being implemented in 40 countries. It focuses on regions suffering from crises and disasters, in addition to the poorest communities.
