​Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has successfully concluded its 1446 AH Eid Al-Adha Campaign under the theme "​Udhiyah.. Is Blessing" Implemented on behalf of benevolent donors from Qatar, the campaign distributed approximately 24,000 sacrificial animals (Udhiyah) in Qatar and 15 countries across Asia and Africa, benefiting nearly 737,000 people.

The project was launched to fulfill the religious duty of Udhiyah during the designated days of Eid while also spreading joy and relief among underprivileged families, displaced individuals, and refugees in need.

This year's campaign was marked by efficient planning and swift execution, thanks to the efforts of QRCS's skilled field teams and reliable local partners. Despite logistical challenges in some areas, the sacrificial rituals were carried out in strict compliance with Islamic guidelines. Meat distribution and transportation followed the highest standards of safety and quality. Animals were selected, slaughtered, preserved, and distributed by specialized teams to ensure timely delivery to beneficiaries.

The meat distribution brought immense joy to recipients, whether delivered directly to their homes or collected from local distribution points. For QRCS, this initiative is not only a religious obligation but also a powerful expression of social cohesion, purification of the soul, and compassion toward the most vulnerable.

In his statement, Mr. Faisal Mohamed Al-Emadi, Secretary-General of QRCS, said: "The Udhiyah campaign achieved remarkable success in demonstrating the values of solidarity and compassion. We extend our sincere gratitude to all our donors and supporters. The success of this campaign is a result of our collective dedication and the professionalism of our field teams. We promised to deliver your Udhiyah to those in need — and we fulfilled that promise."

A total of 12,810 Udhiyah were allocated for the enclave, benefiting around 525,000 individuals. The first phase of the operation was carried out in compliance with Islamic rituals: animals were selected, inspected, slaughtered, and then processed into partially cooked canned meat with broth. These food packages are ready for delivery and will be sent into Gaza as soon as border crossings reopen.
