Qatar Charity (QC), with funding from Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), launched an early winter response project in northern Syria to deliver relief aid to internally displaced persons (IDPs), meet their basic needs, and provide shelter assistance to them. This project comes as part of Qatar Charity’s ‘Warm Hearts’ winter campaign.
