Doha: The Emir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani has instructed authorities to urgently provide the Gaza Strip with fuel worth $32m to address the difficult conditions due to snowstorms and the shutdown of the power plant after it ran out of fuel. 
The Emir also ordered urgent relief worth $28m to Gaza to help them cope with extreme cold. 
The Emir asked authorities to provide urgent relief worth $60m for the Syrian people to help them cope with the difficult conditions and extreme cold.
An official source from the Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the aid was sent out of Qatar’s sense of duty towards our brothers in Palestine and Syria.  QNA
