Doha: Qatar Charity (QC) has distributed 395 gas heaters to the families of orphans and needy families in the various governorates of the West Bank, while the bread distribution project is underway in the Gaza Strip.

The aid comes in view of the difficult economic conditions experienced by the Palestinians and their deteriorating living conditions during the winter.  The gas heater project has benefited 1975 persons belonging to families in need and families of orphans in several governorates of the West Bank, including Ramallah and Al-Bireh, Nablus, Jenin, Salfit, Jerusalem, Hebron and Bethlehem.

The project aims to support the targeted families and meet their basic needs in the winter by providing gas heaters for families lacking the winter essentials to protect them from the harsh cold. 

The beneficiaries are the families of orphans registered with QC, and the families most in need included in the lists of the Palestinian Ministry of Social Development, Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs, and Zakat Fund.  Besides, QC provides packages of bread for more than 100 poor families daily in several governorates of the Gaza Strip.
