The campaign was part of Qatar Charity's broader seasonal efforts for 2025 (1446 AH) to bring hope and joy to those most in need around the world. In Sudan, the initiative focused on regions affected by conflict and displacement. Working hand in hand with local authorities and humanitarian partners, Qatar Charity distributed meat from 160 Udhiyah to more than 1,600 beneficiaries primarily internally displaced persons, refugees, and impoverished families.

Local officials praised the charity's transparent and organized approach, which ensures that help reaches those who need it most.

Tribune News Network Doha The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced the completion of works of the third package of the Roads and Infrastructure Development Project in Al Kharaitiyat and Izghawa, which the Authority is implementing within four development packages with the aim to enhance road network and infrastructure services to serve citizens' lands in the area. Engineer Abdulla Al-Naemi, head of North Areas Section of the Roads Projects Department at Ashghal, said that the third package of the project aims to achieve extensive improvements which, upon completion, will serve about 1,383 plots in the area through the development of internal streets and construction of shared pedestrian and cycling paths, in addition to developing infrastructure facilities such as rainwater and groundwater drainage networks and other networks to provide integrated infrastructure services and improve the quality of life of the area residents. Regarding the work that was implemented within this package, Engineer Jassim Kano, project engineer, explained that this package of the Al Kharaitiyat and Izghawa project provides about 42 km of roads, with the installation of 1,783 street lighting poles and traffic safety elements, and the provision of 7,300 parking spaces designated for cars. Within the scope of the project, infrastructure networks were also developed, which include a surface and groundwater drainage network with a total length of 33 km, a treated water network with a length of 13 km, in addition to a wastewater drainage network with a length of 32 km, in addition to 6.5 km of power line works and 19 km of telecommunications lines.

QRCS distributes Udhiya meat to over 737,000 people in 16 countries
Tribune News Network Doha Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has successfully concluded its 1446 AH Eid Al-Adha Campaign under the theme 'Udhiyah... Is Blessing'. Implemented on behalf of benevolent donors from Qatar, the campaign distributed approximately 24,000 sacrificial animals (Udhiyah) in Qatar and 15 countries across Asia and Africa, benefiting nearly 737,000 people. The project was launched to fulfil the religious duty of Udhiyah during the designated days of Eid while also spreading joy and relief among underprivileged families, displaced individuals, and refugees in need. This year's campaign was marked by efficient planning and swift execution, thanks to the efforts of QRCS's skilled field teams and reliable local partners. Despite logistical challenges in some areas, the sacrificial rituals were carried out in strict compliance with Islamic guidelines. Meat distribution and transportation followed the highest standards of safety and quality. Animals were selected, slaughtered, preserved, and distributed by specialised teams to ensure timely delivery to beneficiaries. The meat distribution brought immense joy to recipients, whether delivered directly to their homes or collected from local distribution points. For QRCS, this initiative is not only a religious obligation but also a powerful expression of social cohesion, purification of the soul, and compassion toward the most vulnerable. In his statement, Faisal Mohammed Al Emadi, secretary-general of QRCS, said: 'The Udhiyah campaign achieved remarkable success in demonstrating the values of solidarity and compassion. We extend our sincere gratitude to all our donors and supporters. The success of this campaign is a result of our collective dedication and the professionalism of our field teams. We promised to deliver your Udhiyah to those in need and we fulfilled that promise.' In Qatar QRCS distributed meat from 425 sacrificed sheep to 575 vulnerable families (around 3,000 individuals) registered under the Community Care Section. The animals were slaughtered at Al-Wakra and Umm Salal abattoirs in partnership with Widam Food Company during the second and third days of Eid. International Reach QRCS's campaign extended to 15 countries in Africa and Asia, bringing joy and relief to people facing displacement, economic hardship, and loss of livelihood. Syria: 194 sheep were slaughtered and distributed to 2,900 displaced families (around 14,500 people) in camps in northern Idlib, in cooperation with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent. Yemen: 4,833 displaced and vulnerable families (24,165 beneficiaries) across Aden, Abyan, Hajjah, and Al-Bayda received meat from sacrificial animals. Jordan: 712 Syrian refugee and host community families (3,560 people) in Amman, Zarqa, and Mafraq were supported through 11 distribution points in coordination with the Jordan Red Crescent. Niger: 515 families (34,502 individuals) benefited in Niamey and Tillabéri through local partnerships. Gaza: Canned Meat Awaiting Border Access Amid the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, exacerbated by over 21 months of conflict and more than four months of complete border closure, QRCS prioritised the people of Gaza in this year's Udhiyah campaign. A total of 12,810 Udhiyah were allocated for the enclave, benefiting around 525,000 individuals. The first phase of the operation was carried out in compliance with Islamic rites: animals were selected, inspected, slaughtered, and then processed into partially cooked canned meat with broth. These food packages are ready for delivery and will be sent into Gaza as soon as border crossings reopen.
