Jerusalem – On Wednesday, the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency (BMAQ) launched the second phase of its “Warm Winter” campaign in Jerusalem, benefiting 120 families across 12 Bedouin communities in the southeast of the Jerusalem Governorate.
The campaign focused on reinforcing roofs of rural homes in exposed highland areas and distributing blankets, mattresses, heaters, and winter clothing.
Inam Abu Zayter, Acting Director General of Public Affairs at the Jerusalem Governorate, praised BMAQ for its initiative to provide essential housing support to these communities. She noted that the campaign targeted 120 families, including the Khala’il community, the farmers of Al-Sawahreh, and the Bedouins of the Arab Al-Jahalin tribe in Al-Muntar, emphasizing that the project helps “strengthen citizens’ steadfastness on their land.”
Abdullah Al-Zahaykeh, representative of the Arab Al-Sawahreh community, expressed his gratitude to “His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, for the support provided, which included mattresses, pillows, blankets, mats, and tarpaulins to improve living conditions during the cold winter season.” He added that the assistance will help “alleviate the suffering of needy families in the area.”
Ziad Abu Zayter, a resident of the Khala’il Al-Muntar community, highlighted the impact of BMAQ’s donations in “relieving the suffering of 38 families, reinforcing their steadfastness on their land, and improving their living conditions.”
Mohammed Al-Hathaleen, representative of the Bedouin Al-Muntar community, lauded BMAQ for “delivering aid, supporting the community, and standing alongside its people,” noting that the assistance helps “relieve the suffering of families urgently in need, particularly during harsh winter conditions.”
