Qatari campaign raises $4 million to Gaza

A Qatari popular campaign has raised more than $4 million for the people of Gaza within 26 days, Qatar’s official television declared Friday.

On October 7, #GazaDeservesLife campaign was launched with the aim of making contribution towards the development of Gaza strip, and alleviating the suffering of its people.

The campaign is supervised by the Regulatory Authority for Charitable Activities. Qatar Red Crescent, Qatar Charity, Education Above All, and the Silatech Foundation are participating in the campaign.

The campaign aims to raise QR10m to cover the urgent needs of the people of Gaza in five main fields. Those five fields are health, education, social welfare, water, and economic empowerment. 

The campaign reflects the support of the people of Qatar and their commitment towards fulfilling the humanitarian needs of the people in Gaza, especially in times of need.

 It also reflects the integration of Qatar’s official and popular roles in carrying out their humanitarian duties, both in terms of urgent relief assistance in times of disasters and crises, or in the implementation of sustainable development projects that promote the chances of peace and stability and fight poverty.
