Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) in cooperation with Yemen Red Crescent Society (YRCS), has launched the Warm Winter 2024-2025 project.
The project contains distributing mattresses and blankets to 1,643 displaced and poor families in ‘Amran and Sa’ada Governorates, at a total cost of $100,000.
Ali Saleh Al-Azab, deputy head of YRCS described the campaign as very important, in light of the harsh weather conditions in the selected areas.
Ten years or conflict made Yemen one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, forcing about 4.1 million people, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), to flee their homes and face difficult conditions at camps.
With the onset of winter, the challenges become greater. Hydro climatic monitoring stations recorded a significant drop in temperatures across the country — going as low as -3˚ during the last two months.
