Doha: Under the Warm Winter project for 2018-2019, Qatar Red Crescent Society's (QRCS) mission in Afghanistan has distributed winterisation and food aid to 4,125 displaced families in three Afghan provinces.
The project aimed at alleviating the suffering of poor families affected by disasters and conflict, meeting their needs during the winter, and preserving their human dignity.
To that end, a total of $473,973 worth of winterisation and food aid was delivered.
Done in partnership with the Afghan Education and Aid Organization, the distributions covered numerous districts and camps of internally displaced persons (IDPs) across the provinces of Badghis, Faryab, and Herat.
A special focus was paid to the families with orphans, widows, disabilities, and other vulnerable groups.
Among the beneficiaries was Be Be Aisha Sayed Mohamed, a widow with a seven-member family from Faryab. They moved to Herat, where they found difficulty until finding a place at an IDP camp. Now, she has no work to earn a living, as the region is overall poor. As she received the aid, Mohamed happily thanked QRCS for providing her much-needed food items.
