The Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) mission in Iraq has delivered food aid to 30,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the governorates of Nineveh and Erbil.
The project was coordinated and implemented by QRCS, the Iraqi Red Crescent Society, Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW) – Iraq, Basmeh and Zeitooneh Relief and Development, and Barzani Charity Foundation.
Food parcels of cubed beef stew were distributed, each sufficient for a five-member family, based on the needs of every IDP camp in Erbil and Mosul. The distributions covered the Khazir M1 Camp in eastern Mosul (1,350 parcels), Bahirka Camp in northern Erbil (540 parcels), and Debaga 2 Camp (1,750 parcels).
Out of IDP camps, 483 parcels were distributed to the displaced Iraqis at Franso Hariri Stadium.
In Nineveh, 1,600 parcels were handed over in several districts of Mosul (Old City, Al-Zohour, and Al-Zira’i), 1,265 at Hassan Sham Camp in eastern Mosul, and 670 parcels at Nimrod Camp in southern Mosul.
“With this aid, we seek to meet the needs of the displaced Iraqis in the war-affected areas, particularly with the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan,” said Dr Mohamed S Ibrahim, director of Relief and International Development at QRCS. “The distributions came in time, after months of coordination with the partners and authorities in Iraq.”
Dr Ibrahim said, “The cubed beef stew is an innovative humanitarian solution. Traditionally, food aid was restricted to dried food products, because they last long and do not need a fridge. The same advantages are found in the cubed beef stew, which is in compliance with safety standards and the Islamic Law. The shelf life of the product is three years, and it provides the body with vital nutrients.”
He thanked the donors for supporting this project, promising to do their best to overcome any challenges and reach out to the vulnerable everywhere.
