Qatar Charity provides free bread for IDPs in northern Syria

Qatar Charity (QC), as part of its relief aid, continues to provide free bread to the internally displaced persons (IDPs) in northern Syria by supporting and operating bakery ovens, aiming to ease the burden of living on the IDP community during the holy month of Ramadan.  As many as 16 16 automatic ovens were operated, in coordination between Qatar Charity, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and civil society organizations. The ovens provide free bread daily to more than 190,000 people (37,000 families) from the IDP community, who live in nearly 60 camps, in addition to those living in abandoned homes and makeshift shelters. Providing free bread to this number of beneficiaries, Qatar Charity contributes to meeting 12% of the daily need of bread for the IDPs in northern Syria, with a production capacity of 42 tons of flour per day for a period of six months. The beneficiaries expressed their delight with receiving free bread that contributes to alleviating their suffering and help them fast during the holy month of Ramadan.
