DOHA: Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has launched a fundraising campaign to urgently respond to the recent flash floods across Yemen.

The campaign will benefit more than 123,000 people.

In a statement, Secretary-General of QRCS Faisal Mohamed Al Emadi said, “a new humanitarian disaster is befalling Yemen. Heavy rainfall and floods have caused widespread destruction, with dozens killed and thousands rendered homeless. Victims find hardly any food, medications, or shelter.”

“In response to this serious emergency, a fundraising campaign is launched by QRCS, inviting benevolent donors to provide the basic needs of affected families, including food, health care supplies, home repair/reconstruction, and relief non-food items,” he added.

He urged the charitable and philanthropic people in the State of Qatar to take the initiative to extend a helping hand and stand by the Yemeni brethren, by supporting this campaign that aims to alleviate their suffering and ensure their safety.
