Qatar to Compensate Citizens for Damage Caused by Missile Debris

Qatar has announced that it will compensate citizens and residents whose private properties were damaged by falling debris during last month’s missile incident involving Iran and the US.

The incident occurred on June 23, when Iran launched missiles at the US-operated Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, in retaliation for American airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities. While no casualties were reported, explosions were heard in Doha, and fragments from intercepted missiles were found scattered on roads and near homes.

On Sunday, Qatar’s Ministry of Interior confirmed that financial compensation will be provided for damages to residential buildings, vehicles, commercial establishments, and industrial properties affected by the missile shrapnel. However, the ministry emphasized that only damages officially reported to security departments will be eligible.

Residents who haven’t submitted a damage report can still apply for compensation through the “Metrash” mobile app within two days of the announcement. After the deadline, no further claims will be accepted.

The Civil Defence Council will contact affected individuals to guide them through the compensation process in line with Qatari regulations.
