Doha, Qatar: A joint campaign co-implemented by Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) and talabat, the leading on-demand delivery platform in the MENA region, has successfully raised over QR300,000 for Gaza relief efforts. 

The one-month campaign received a stronger-than-expected response from talabat customers, who chose to redeem and convert their reward points into donations on the talabat app. 

This contribution will go to QRCS, in support of its ongoing efforts to provide the blockade with every possible form of relief assistance, including water, food, and medical care, amid such an unprecedented humanitarian calamity. In a statement, Secretary-General of QRCS, Faisal Mohamed Al-Emadi expressed his sincerest gratitude to the benevolent people of Qatar, who made the campaign a remarkable success with their donations and compassion. 

“It was another impressive episode of solidarity and support from the people of Qatar towards their Palestinian brothers and sisters,” said   Al-Emadi. “Even the smallest donation can make a real difference in the lives of the affected people of Gaza”. 

This is not the first time QRCS and talabat join hands for charity. In November 2024, a similar campaign raised over QR1.1m in donations, to support relief interventions for the war victims in both Gaza and Lebanon.
