Qatar has always been at the forefront in helping Palestinian brothers who are facing numerous hardships for decades due to occupation forces. In fact, Qatar has always extended its generous help to all communities in distress across the globe.
Yesterday, Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani directed the allocation of $2m to assist the brothers in Gaza as a result of the damage caused by tragic fire in the Nuseirat Camp in the Gaza Strip.
Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani held a telephone conversation with Head of the Political Bureau of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Dr. Ismail Haniyeh, who briefed His Highness on the damage caused by the tragic fire in the Nuseirat Camp in the Gaza Strip, especially the martyrs and the injured. The Head of the Movement expressed his sincere thanks and gratitude to H H the Amir, expressing his appreciation for this generous human gesture.
Few days ago, Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani had donated QR50m to the ‘Haqq Al-Sham’ campaign. In May last year, Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani had directed allocation of $480m for brethren Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The support came to reflect the bonds of brotherhood and the ties of Arabism and religion between the Qatari and Palestinian peoples, in order to help the brotherly Palestinian people to obtain their necessary life needs in the difficult circumstances imposed by the Israeli occupation forces, and the decline in the international humanitarian support provided to them.
In a similar generous gesture by the State of Qatar, Chairman of Qatar’s Gaza Reconstruction Committee, Ambassador H E Mohammed Al Emadi, announced last month the postponement of monthly instalments for beneficiaries from the His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa City in Khan Yunis governorate in southern Gaza Strip for 2020. Ambassador Al Emadi responded to the requests made by residents of the city, in light of the difficult economic conditions the people of Gaza are going through, which prompted them to request delaying the payment of instalments.
In December last year, Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) and Al Azhar University – Gaza (AUG) had celebrated the inauguration of the university’s new toxicology and pharmacology lab, under a project to establish specialist medical labs at Gaza medical education institutions.e
