Doha, December 31 (QNA) - Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) is implementing its Warm Winter campaign 2023-2024, under the theme "Humanity First: Hope for Warmth".

In a press release, QRCS said that its foreign representation offices/missions began implementing the campaign which involves a wide range of winterization projects and aid for the benefit of more than 230,000 internally displaced people (IDPs), refugees, and poor people in 13 countries (Palestine, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Somalia, Sudan, Niger, Tajikistan, and Kosovo).

This year's QRCS campaign has a higher fundraising target than the past years (QR 15 million), given the increasing needs and suffering of millions of people affected by disasters and conflicts. They face the harsh winter with the least available means of living.

Director of Relief and International Development Division at QRCS Dr. Mohamed Salah Ibrahim stated, "When it comes to climate change, nobody is safe. The biggest impact is always on poor and displaced people, who suffer even more from the extremely low temperature during the winter, when it is difficult to get the clothing, food, and heating they need to survive the bitter cold".
