Empowering Communities: The Role of the Oman Charitable Organization in Disaster Response

Established by Royal Decree in 1996, the Oman Charitable Organization, chaired by the Minister of Law, plays a pivotal role in providing disaster relief and social services throughout the year. With a team of 12 members from both government and private sectors, they function similarly to the global Red Cross, catering to the needs of vulnerable populations by supplying essential items, healthcare, and educational support. Engaged in disaster preparedness and recovery, the organization faces challenges such as resource limitations and manpower demands but remains committed to enhancing their response capabilities.
