Doha: Qatar Charity's (QC) office in the Gaza Strip celebrated the completion of the Emergency Support Project for the Fisheries Sector.
This project comes within the framework of the Programme for the Promotion and Protection of Food Security in Palestine, in cooperation with the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture, at a cost of more than QR31m, with funding from the Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Speaking at the ceremony attended by government officials, Mohamed Abu Haloub, director of Qatar Charity's office in the Gaza Strip, expressed his pleasure over the completion of the project, which has been under implementation for about eight years.
Abu Haloub said that the project was very important for the fishing sector, as it was suitable for relief and development interventions emphasizing the continued commitment of Qatar Charity towards supporting the Palestinian people and meeting their humanitarian and developmental needs.
He noted that the fishing project was one of the significant projects implemented by Qatar Charity during the past ten years, in addition to several other programmes and projects carried out in several fields, including social welfare and orphans' sponsorships, housing for the poor, education, health, agriculture, relief, emergency and others.
The project, which benefited more than 5,000 fishermen, managed to build four fish hatcheries with a capacity of 130 cubic meters, with the aim of fattening fishes for hatching.
