As announced by QRCS president Sheikh Abdullah bin Thamer al-Thani, the QR60mn fundraising campaign was launched to respond to the impact of war on the people of Palestine. It would help a total of 500,000 Palestinians to get over the calamity and restore their normal lives very soon.
As early as the beginning of events in the Palestinian territories, QRCS provided every form of assistance available on the ground, thanks to its already existing representation missions in Gaza, the West Bank, and Al-Quds.
In co-operation with PRCS, QRCS’ field personnel distributed 600 food parcels to 4,000 beneficiaries, offered psychological support consultations to the public, and trained 60 physicians and nurses to enhance their emergency assessment skills.
Emergency departments at Gaza hospitals received vital signs monitors, medical tents, beds, and equipment to meet the increasing demand. The staff of QRCS’ mission in Gaza donated blood to the Blood Bank.
Under QRCS’s Gaza Specialized Surgery Support Project, seven consultant physicians of cardiovascular surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, orthopedics, urology, and anesthetics performed over 100 surgeries for critical cases injured during the war.
