Qatar Charity welcomed the dismissal of all U.S. lawsuits against it, saying the rulings confirm its integrity and warning that politicising humanitarian work threatens vital aid efforts, including in Gaza.
Qatar Charity (QC) has welcomed the dismissal of all lawsuits filed against it in the United States, calling the outcome a reaffirmation of its integrity and compliance with international humanitarian standards.
In a statement, the organisation said all cases had been dropped, including those withdrawn by plaintiffs after evidence was found to be fabricated.
The lawsuits had accused the charity of “supporting extremist groups” in Syria and Palestine.
Qatar Charity said the rulings underscored its adherence to transparency, neutrality, and strict compliance with global humanitarian and financial regulations.
It also warned of a “serious threat” posed by attempts to weaponise legal systems against aid organisations, saying such efforts erode trust, disrupt partnerships, and obstruct relief delivery to people in need.
The charity pointed to Gaza as an example of where politically motivated legal actions could hinder vital reconstruction and humanitarian efforts following the fragile truce.
“In Palestine, where the truce in Gaza has opened a narrow window for recovery, the misuse of legal actions risks repeating on the legal front what the conflict did on the ground – disrupting the flow of life-saving aid and slowing reconstruction efforts. Rebuilding Gaza will require great courage, impartiality, and a shared commitment to putting humanity above politics,” QC read.
The organisation urged governments, donors, and financial institutions to protect humanitarian work from political interference, stressing that lifesaving assistance should never be subject to dispute or defence.
International bodies, including the United Nations, have also expressed concern about the politicisation of aid, warning that such practices threaten humanitarian workers and compromise global relief coordination.
