Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has launched a food parcel distribution project in Yemen, to ensure food security for 10,745 Internally Displaced People (IDPs), widows and poor families most affected by the bad living conditions in Marib Governorate.
Implemented in partnership with Yemen Red Crescent Society (YRCS), the $136,308 project involves distributing 1,535 one-month food parcels in Marib and Harib districts.
During the inauguration ceremony, Director of Marib’s IDP Camp Management Executive Unit Saif Muthanna announced “the launch of a food parcels project, donated by QRCS and implemented by YRCS. Helping meet the food needs of 767 families in Marib district, it is one of the most important projects being implemented in the governorate to alleviate the suffering of IDPs”.
In turn, head of QRCS’s office in Marib Faris al-Aqili praised such crucial projects during difficult times for IDPs.
“The food parcels project is in response to the government’s appeal to meet the needs of IDPs and other victims of floods and conflict,” said al-Aqili. “In fact, the needs are growing, and all the humanitarian support available in the governorate is not sufficient, with the increasing numbers of IDPs.”
