Doha: A number of officials from Qatar’s agencies supporting the projects of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) stressed the necessity of urgent humanitarian action to avoid the dire consequences of wars, conflicts, natural disasters, climate change, and the resulting waves of displacement, asylum, and deportation, during the High-level Strategic Dialogue between Qatar and OCHA, held in Doha yesterday.
Deputy Director General for Development Projects at the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) Sultan Ahmed Al Aseeri noted that this dialogue is a crucial and essential moment, given the urgent need for humanitarian action, especially since the situation of humanitarian affairs is suffering greatly due to the humanitarian crises resulting from conflicts, natural disasters, climate change, and the resulting waves of displacement and asylum, which undermines the stability of various countries in the Middle East and neighbouring countries, increasing economic and social pressures, and putting pressure on the education system, health care, and job opportunities.
CEO of the Education Above All (EAA) Foundation, Fahad Al Sulaiti, emphasised the necessity of an innovative vision and strategic action to bridge the gap between humanitarian needs and available resources. He highlighted the crucial role of innovation, technology, and data in understanding and efficiently responding to problems.
Secretary-General of QRCS Faisal bin Mohammed Al Emadi noted that the collaboration between QRCS and OCHA has achieved significant progress in many humanitarian fields.
