QRCS office in Gaza resumes work despite bombing
The Peninsula
Doha: The representation office of Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) in Gaza has resumed its humanitarian and relief operations, days after it was bombed by airstrikes in the recent 11-day war on Gaza.
In cooperation with Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS), QRCS continued the distribution of food aid to the poor and war-affected families of Gaza. The volunteers of the two National Societies delivered 600 food parcels to families whose houses were partially or completely damaged due to the war. Set by PRCS and the Ministry of Social Development, the criteria of selection included the poorest families, older persons with chronic diseases, and persons with disability. A delegation from QRCS’s office in Gaza took part in a field tour by representatives of Palestine’s Ministry of Health (MoH) and a number of international organisations to survey the damage to many health facilities. They visited the Hala Al Shawa Primary Care Center in Beit Lahia and the MoH-owned Al Remal Martyrs Clinic in Gaza City.More Related News
