DOHA: Lauren Booth, a journalist and British activist visited Qatar Charity (QC) on an invitation to work together to support Palestinian families suffering due to poverty and the siege.
Booth is one of the most famous pro-Arab activists who helped break the siege imposed by the occupation on the Gaza Strip. She is dedicating her life and efforts to guarantee a better life for the Palestinians.
Booth met QC officials and discussed suffering of the Palestinians, especially those in the Strip and their need for aid campaigns because of the horrible situation they’re living in.
She also participated in an event with Qatari Business Women Association, in cooperation with Youth for Jerusalem Association, the women’s department; a lecture at a Holy Quran memorisation centre and visited senior figures. “After having lived with the Palestinians, I understood how much they suffer and help and support they need. Their circumstances are getting worse day by day because of the occupation and the siege.
“I chose QC because I know about its work in the field of charity in general and for the Palestinians in particular. QC projects in Gaza are important in providing a living for the people,” said Booth.
“QC projects in Palestine are distinguished, and I hope they increase in number. “I know how generous the Qatari people are; especially when it’s about their brothers and sisters from other countries. These projects help the Palestinians and fight poverty and unemployment.”
