June 28th, 2026 ― Doha, Qatar: A new relief project has been launched by Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS), in collaboration with Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), to enhance food security in Gaza, where the latest war left hundreds of thousands of displaced families struggling to find food and other everyday life needs.
Dr. Akram Nassar, head of QRCS’s representation office in Gaza, explained, “This food aid is part of a project co-implemented by QRCS and JHCO to distribute vegetable parcels and hygiene kits in Gaza. The current distributions include a total of 11,942 food parcels for the benefit of 71,652 internally displaced people (IDPs) in Gaza and Khan Yunis Governorates, with a special focus on women, children, patients, and older persons”.
“Regarding the other component of the project, coordination is in progress to get the hygiene items into the blockade,” he added. “Our aim is to reduce the health risks resulting from the lack of hygiene supplies, thus helping protect displaced families and prevent communicable diseases inside the overcrowded IDP camps and shelters”.
According to Dr. Nassar, QRCS will continue to work closely with partners to reach out to the most vulnerable people in Gaza and meet their basic food, shelter, and health care needs, towards the ultimate goal of enabling them to rebuild their lives and develop their potential.
Valued at $1,111,000 in total, the project is a new episode of QRCS’s ongoing efforts to improve living conditions and secure essential services for Gaza’s population of more than two million.
Over the coming months, QRCS is going to launch more humanitarian projects to provide vital food parcels, hot meals, infant formula, therapeutic food, and bread for over 500,000 beneficiaries, at a total cost of more than QR 20 million.
These ambitious plans can become a reality only with generous contributions by the benevolent people of Qatar, who can donate via QRCS’s website (www.qrcs.org.qa), mobile app (QRCS), donor service (66666364), home donation collection (33998898), or donation desks/agents at malls and shopping centers.
QRCS reaffirms its commitment to delivering life-saving humanitarian aid to the most vulnerable families and strengthening the resilience of affected communities in the face of persisting humanitarian crisis.

About Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS)
Established in 1978, Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) is Qatar’s first humanitarian and volunteering organization that aims to assist and empower vulnerable individuals and communities without partiality or discrimination.
QRCS is a member of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, which consists of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and 191 National Societies. It is also a member of several GCC, Arab, and Islamic organizations, such as the Islamic Committee of International Crescent (ICIC) and the Arab Red Crescent and Red Cross Organization (ARCO). In this legally recognized capacity, QRCS has access to disaster and conflict zones, thus serving as an auxiliary to the State of Qatar in its humanitarian and social efforts — a role that distinguishes it from other local charities and NGOs.
Both locally and internationally, QRCS has relief and development operations in numerous countries throughout the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Europe, and Central and South America. Its humanitarian mandates include disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and risk reduction. To mitigate the impact of disasters and improve the livelihoods of affected populations, QRCS provides medical services, food, water, shelter, and other needs of local communities. It is also active at the humanitarian diplomacy and advocacy front.
With the help of a vast network of trained, committed staff and volunteers, QRCS aspires to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity, inspired by the seven Fundamental Principles of humanitarian action: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality.
