Doha, Qatar - Qatar has pledged to provide approximately 1.3 million liters of fuel to support humanitarian needs in the Gaza Strip, according to a recent agreement with the United Nations. This grant is part of Qatar's ongoing efforts to address urgent humanitarian needs and essential services in the Strip.
Between October 7, 2023 and the end of March 2026, Qatar has distributed around 30 million liters of fuel. This grant falls within the framework of Qatar's ongoing humanitarian support for the Palestinian people in Gaza, aimed at alleviating the humanitarian crisis, meeting basic needs, and strengthening the humanitarian response in the Strip.
The primary objective of this grant is to ensure the continuity of vital services and humanitarian operations, enhancing the capacity of humanitarian organizations to continue serving the population in challenging conditions. It will particularly bolster the health sector, enabling the operation of several hospitals and health centers and the provision of essential services.
Out of the 2.1 million Palestinians in Gaza who rely on fuel-dependent health services, including children, women, the elderly, and persons with disabilities, this grant will be immensely beneficial.
Moreover, the grant will also support other critical sectors and services that depend on fuel, ensuring the continuity of their operations amidst the prevailing humanitarian conditions.
