Doha, MINA – The Qatar Committee for Reconstruction of Gaza announced on Friday that it would start paying cash aid to needy families in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, Qatar News Agency reported.

Chairman of the Committee Ambassador Mohammed Al-Emadi added that the assistance is paid for Gaza families in cooperation with the Qatar Fund for Development.

He explained that the distribution will take place through the post offices in the governorates of the Gaza Strip for 100,000 families, at $100 per family, and the distribution will continue until Wednesday.

He pointed out that all safety measures will be taken during the distribution of the assistance, in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, as quoted from MEMO.
