Doha, Qatar - Officials from the Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) and the UK Embassy in Qatar recently conducted a field visit to assess the mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) program for Palestinian families displaced from Gaza to the Qatari capital.
The visit aimed to strengthen humanitarian ties with the residents and evaluate the progress of the MHPSS initiative, which is funded by the UK Embassy and implemented by QRCS. Delegates included QRCS Assistant Secretary-General for Relief and International Development Mohamed Badr Al-Sada and Deputy Head of Mission at the UK Embassy in Qatar Duncan Hill.
During interactions with the beneficiaries, the delegation engaged in friendly conversations and learned about the MHPSS services designed to assist the families in overcoming their traumatic experiences and returning to a normal life routine. Al-Sada expressed gratitude towards the UK partners for their contributions, noting that the MHPSS program has significantly improved the lives of the families, particularly women who have engaged in productive and handicraft activities. Many students have also been enrolled in Qatari educational institutions.
Deputy Head of Mission Duncan Hill emphasized the importance of mental health support in helping the families recover from the devastating impact of the Gaza conflict. He stated that MHPSS is crucial for restoring a sense of dignity and enhancing the resilience of the affected population. The UK Embassy in Qatar is proud to collaborate with QRCS on this initiative, showcasing the strong partnership between the two nations in supporting vulnerable individuals amidst humanitarian crises.
