Qatar Charity has supplied 2,298 food baskets to displaced individuals and vulnerable communities across Borno, Kogi, Niger, and Yobe states in Nigeria, according to a recent press report. Each basket contained essential food supplies to address the immediate nutritional requirements of the beneficiaries, reaching an estimated 12,575 people.
The distribution efforts took place in collaboration with government agencies and local authorities, prioritizing those with disabilities and families led by widows or elderly members. The humanitarian organization's response addresses the escalating cost of living and ongoing challenges to food security, especially in the conflict-ridden north-east region of the country.
Additionally, as part of its Eyesight Initiative, Qatar Charity has performed 1,074 eye surgeries, restoring vision for 1,018 people in northern Nigeria. The charity has also distributed 270 white canes to visually impaired individuals whose sight could not be restored through surgery, aiming to enhance eye care services and bolster the resilience of vulnerable groups in Nigeria.
