Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has been providing aid to people in Asia for the past five years, with a focus on countries that are prone to natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, landslides, monsoon rains, and severe cold waves. The organization has implemented projects and provided aid worth over QR 666 million in 23 Asian countries, benefiting around 26 million people.
QRCS has been particularly active in South and Southeast Asia, including Nepal, the Philippines, and Bangladesh.

The aid provided includes health assistance, shelter, food and non-food items distribution, drinking water and sanitation support, livelihoods support, and rebuilding family ties.
One of the key features of QRCS is its rapid response to disasters and crises. The organization activates the Emergency Information Management Center and sends trained relief teams to affected areas.

QRCS works to serve people without any bias or discrimination, implementing hundreds of humanitarian projects and interventions annually in various areas worldwide. Its work methodology has helped to make a real difference in the lives of those affected by conflicts and disasters, providing the assistance needed to support them in rebuilding their lives.
The impact of QRCS's aid on targeted communities in Asia has been significant.
