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.\n\nDuring 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.\n\nDeputy 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.
