Qatar Charity (QC) has said it continues to provide the necessary winter aid to displaced people and refugees around the world as part of its 'Warmth and Peace' campaign to confront the dangers of winter.
In Bangladesh, QC has distributed emergency relief materials to Rohingya refugees affected by a massive fire that broke out in their camps a while ago, as it provided winter clothes for the benefit of more than 1,000 affected refugees.
Qatar Charity's relief teams delivered aid to the homes of the affected families, in the presence of camp officials.
The Rohingya refugees expressed their satisfaction with the assistance provided by QC in light of these difficult conditions they are going through, a press statement noted.
Habib Rahman, one of the refugees who was affected by the fire, said his house was completely burned and nothing was left for him, and Qatar Charity contributed to providing shelter for him and his family, as well as winter aid.
For her part, Suhana Begum, a mother of four children, said she lost her home and no longer had clothes to protect them from the cold, adding that the assistance provided by QC came on time and helped her and her children overcome the harsh winter cold.
The aid comes as support for those affected by the fire that damaged one of the camps housing the Rohingya in Cox's Bazar on the ninth of January.
This is not the first fire to hit the Rohingya camps. Another fire destroyed a large part of a camp last March, killing more than 10 people and leaving nearly a thousand injured.
This fire displaced nearly 50,000 Rohingya refugees and destroyed many buildings, including schools and centres for food storage.
