Doha: In cooperation with Yemen Red Crescent Society (YRCS), Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) and Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) have launched an emergency response to the floods in Marib, Yemen.
Under the project, 598 families will be supported with shelter kits, at a cost of $150,000, equally funded by QRCS and KRCS, under their bilateral agreement.
Saif Muthanna, Director-General of the Executive Unit for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Marib, said, “Today is the launch of an emergency response project to support families in need with shelter materials. I would like to thank QRCS, KRCS, and the implementing partner YRCS for this project, which is considered one of the most important projects in the governorate. The needs are considerable, especially in basic areas such as food, shelter, water, and environmental sanitation.
“Displacement to Marib is growing, with over 2,222,000 IDPs at 197 camps in the city. We appeal for more projects to alleviate the suffering of IDPs”.
